Comet Tank vs Tiger Tank: The Essel Bridgehead | April 1945

In April 1945, the 11th Armoured Division established a bridgehead over the River Aller in Northern Germany near the town of Essel. Among the units in the bridgehead were the 4 King's Shropshire Light Infantry and the 3 Royal Tank Regiment, the latter of whom were equipped with Comet tanks. As the British sought to expand the bridgehead, the Comet tanks of the 3 R.T.R. became embroiled in a day-long tank duel with a German Tiger tank, callsign F01. Using Official Histories and archival documents, this video breaks down one of the final engagements involving British and German armour of the campaign.

This video is dedicated to the memory of George Wane, 4 King's Shropshire Light Infantry, 11th Armoured Division.
