Spexavers have asked me to tell you something important, so I've gone creative and dug out my

old jack-in-the-box. It's about prices and how they jump up when you least expect them.

I said jump up when you least expect them. I said jump up when you least expect them. Oh, that Spexaver's glasses still start from 15 pounds.

Not now, Jack, including standard single vision lenses only. He's going to jump up now isn't he?

Oh well you're better off with spec savers. Oh I knew it. Ask in store for details.

Hello everyone I'm your host James Rogers and welcome to the

podcast. If it's your first time here, this is the history hit warfare

podcast and we are dedicated to military history from Napoleonic battles and Cold War confrontations

through to the Normandy landings and 9-11.

Now in this episode, well I don't really know what more I need to say about it, it's with

James Holland, one of the greatest and most popular historians of his generation, and it involves me and him talking about his top five tanks. You have Sherman's, you have Churchill's, you have Tigers and

Pansas in there of course you do. It is one hell of an episode what James

doesn't know about tanks isn't worth knowing as is

evidence by his new book on the Sherwood Rangers and his new TV series with

history hit TV on his favorite tanks. So here is James Holland on his top five tanks. Hi James, welcome to the history hit Warfare Podcast. How you doing today?

Yeah, I'm all right, but nice to see you.

Good to see you too. Where are you in the world?

Currently, I am in St. Mores in Cornwall. It's a regular trip down here to Cornwall.

Well, we try and come down here at least once a year anyway.

Very good. Well, a well-deserved break after the new book is out.

Congratulations. Brothers in Arms, one legendary Tank Regiments, Bloody War from D-Day to V-E-Day.

Is it fair to say that this book is kind of a band of brothers of the Tank World.
