Narrator
1. Iron, Iron, Everywhere
An outline of the first tanks build by the English, Germans and French and shows that the original idea for an armored vehicle was from a man from Austria.
2. Blitzkrieg
Out of the ashes of WWI, Germany secretly develops the panzer, a tank equipped with advanced communication capabilities.
3. A World in Chains
As the Cold War grips the world, tanks are increasingly used to stamp out civil uprisings, turning the armored vehicle into a symbol of oppression.
4. Twilight of the Tanks
In a new era of warfare, the once-invincible tank progressively becomes a dangerous, vulnerable and costly liability.
