History

The Churchill was a British infantry tank used in the Second World War.
It was best known for its heavy armour, its large hull with all-round tracks and its ability to climb steep slopes.
It is considered one of the heaviest Allied tanks of the war
The AVRE (Arrmoured Vehicle Royal Engineers) engineer tanks were based on the Churchill Mk.IV hull, with the 6-pounder gun replaced by a 290mm mortar.
In addition, various attachments, for example assault bridges, could be fitted to the vehicle.
