The Italians built a version (slightly modified) as the Fiat 3000, the MG armed version was later redesignated L5/21 and the cannon armed version as L5/30. Several were in service in North Africa at the outbreak of WW2 but were only used for policing in rear areas (I couldn't find any references to them doing any actual fighting).

Yes the first tank the Italians put into production. Amazing how it served in WWII even if in rear areas.

@@UlyssesFiles Defendu and Gutter Fighting are really the same thing. I use both names (I have a Facebook page for each name). I suppose you could say Defendu is the official name of Fairbairn's system, while Gutter Fighting is a nickname. I agree with most of what Tommy teaches, but he is certainly more into boxing. Pure Defendu doesn't really have this.

Yes gutter fighting is synonymous with Defendu. I like Tommy’s zeal and he’s quite an advocate. Our first ever video a year ago on the channel was on William Fairbairn (the one you watched was a remake) here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYHCg5ZobJh1gZosi=Idz8RsAACXyYls1F

In the nineteenth century, improvements in metallurgy allowed for the rifled breech loaded artillery. The early twentieth century saw the adoption of the tank, plane, semi & automatic rifles. Now, in the twenty-first century, we are seeing the adoption and innovation taking place with purpose driven drones. Thank you for all the hard work you do. We all sincerely appreciate every video. P.S. Do you think you could cover German MP-18? As I understand, it was the first successful smg used in warfare.

If ypu want someone interesting tp cpver mad jack Churchill is quite interesting. Not related to Churchill but his German captors didn't know so got sent to a officer type camp escaped then stormed one of the beaches in d-day with a claymore sword since he would feel undressed otherwise plus a longbow and if to be believed holds the last recorded kill with a longbow on d-day. If i recall he was angry the war ended tried to go to tp Japan missed it then went to korea vut was deemed tk old

For those interested, the Awards for Gallantry and Meritorious Service for Commonwealth Forces, Army, in order of precedence in 1918 were, 1. Victoria Cross (V.C.) 2. Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.) 3. Distinguished Service Cross (D.S.C.) 4. Military Cross (M.C.) 5. Distinguished Conduct Medal (D.C.M.) 6. Conspicuous Gallantry Medal (C.G.M.) 7. Distinguished Service Medal (D.S.M.) 8. Military Medal (M.M.) 9. Meritorious Service Medal (M.S.M.) 10. Mentioned in Despatches (M.I.D.) 11. Citation for a Gallantry Award Harry Murray was awarded the VC, CMG, DSO & Bar, DCM. The CMG (Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George) is a British Order of Chivalry not a Gallantry Award, which he received at wars end for outstanding service to the Empire. He was also awarded the Croix de Guerre (CdG) by the French and was Mentioned in Dispatches twice. Essentially, he was awarded the highest possible British medal for valour, as well as the second highest...twice, as well as the various lesser decorations. And unlike Jacka, who achieved a lot of his public awareness by dint of being the first Australian awarded the VC in WW1, Murray lived the remainder of his life largely forgotton by subsequent generations of Australians.

Bert Jacka's biggest problem was his mouth and lack of formal military training to the British Officer standard. He would make great points on how to proceed during an attack, or how to improve the men's lot in the lines, or any of a number of other valid and forward thinking ideas. But instead of writing down his thoughts, presenting him to his immediate superior, and folding his ideas into formal military doctrine, Jacka had a propensity for accosting anyone from full Colonels to Lt Generals and presenting his thoughts as accusations on said senior officers for not having thought of them already. He was tough, bristley, and didn't suffer fools (of which to him there seemed to be a lot of it in the British General Staff). In truth he was promoted beyond his station while off the line...in battle he was a different animal. The men of the 14th Battalion (Jacka's Mob) idolised him, not only for his leadership under fire, but also because he would routinely prefer to 'crime' a belligerent trooper with a punch on the nose rather than subjecting him to the military justice system. And what @peterbailey4888 says is absolutely accurate. Charles Bean did in fact write "Everyone who knows the facts, knows Jacka earned the Victoria Cross three times.” Once on Gallipoli, once at Pozieres, and once at Bullecourt.
