Germany Pissed by British Tetrarch Light Tank—Glider Tank

When Britain needed a tank that could fly, engineers delivered one of the most unconventional machines of the Second World War — the Tetrarch Light Tank. Small, fast, and air-portable, it was designed to land by glider straight into combat zones, giving airborne troops the firepower to face enemy armor. Though lightly armored, its speed and versatility stunned German commanders who never expected to see tanks appearing behind their lines. The Tetrarch proved that air-delivered armor was not fantasy — it was a new kind of warfare. This documentary uncovers the full story of Britain’s glider-borne tank program — from its experimental roots at the War Office and trials with the Hamilcar glider, to its battlefield use in Normandy and Burma. Drawing on official reports, factory records, and rare combat footage, we reveal how the Tetrarch’s daring design expanded the limits of airborne operations — and left Germany both baffled and furious that Britain had turned flight into a weapon of armored surprise.
