The Sentinel — Why One Nation's Genius Was Erased

Описание: #ww2history #wwii

In 1941, Australia faced an existential threat. With the British Empire collapsing in Singapore and Japanese forces advancing, the Australian army had no tanks to defend its homeland. Against all odds, railway engineers and mechanics from the outback designed and built the Sentinel — a massive, fully functional armored tank, forged entirely from scratch.

This World War II story follows the creation, testing, and eventual obscurity of the Sentinel. Despite proving its capabilities in trials and demonstrating the ingenuity of Australian engineers, the tank was sidelined in favor of standardized Allied equipment. For decades, it remained hidden from history, a forgotten marvel of armored warfare.

Join us as we uncover the story of the Sentinel, the armored monster that never fired in battle, yet stands as a testament to innovation, resilience, and national determination.
