Ask the army. Wow. do u really think kids can do that? Uh, no. Ok, buddy here's the REAL answer: The US named it's tanks in a different language. It was an Indian language called Navajo. I think they named it after the Navajo word for "tortise".
They faced 'Rommels Asparagus' on the beaches and extremely heavy gunfire at Omaha.
Notable ones were tanks and chemical warfare. 'Tanks' were named for that which they were disguised as - water tanks. Chemicals used in the First World War were gases that blinded, blistered, and killed (mustard and chlorine gases).
The term "flying tanks" is a term that got out of hand (mis-used). It actually refers to aircraft such as the A-10 Thunderbolt II (aka Warthog) and the AH-64 Apache Helicopter. Both were often nick-named flying tanks; as they are heavily armored & heavily gunned tank killers.
yes, while axis powers were in north Africa (rommels forces) some nations fought there
well it is vehicular. I have heard the term Mansfield Tanks applied to under-wing usually expendable Drop Tanks, on aircraft. when I was a kid I naively assumed it was the ( German-sounding) name of the designer, like Von Braun. Mansfield Tanks were used on the later versions of the X-l5.
Rain water is collected through a process named Rainwater harvesting. Here rainwater that falls on the roofs are collected through pipes and ultimately stored in large tanks. These are called harvesting tanks also.
In World War I, tanks were first used. The were top secret but very large. To get the tanks to the battle field unnoticed, they were put into crates labeled "water tanks". They were nicknamed "Water Tanks" but the name was shortened over time to "Tanks".
German forces entered North Africa to assist the Italians who had difficulty in that region. Similar to future campaigns like South Vietnam 15 years later (assisting nations in trouble), US forces entered North Africa to reinforce the British fighting there in 1942. The British were primarily using "lend lease" US supplied tanks; M3 Lee medium tanks and M3/4 Stuart light tank. The US landed forces equipped with the same, plus some M4s.
Generalfeldmarschall was the highest regular general officer rank in the German Wehrmacht, comparable to NATO rank codes OF10
