Designed at the beginning of the Second World War, the Crusader was one
of the most important British "Cruiser" tanks reaching a production of
over 5,000 units. Equipped with Christie suspension with large diameter
rolling wheels, the Crusader possessed remarkable driving skills on
rough terrain. The first versions of Mk. I and Mk. II were armed with a
2 pdr. cannon, later replaced by the more powerful 6 pdr. cannon in the
Mk.III version. Lacking adequate armor against enemy fire, it was also
very vulnerable to enemy mines and anti-tank guns, and its armament was
often inadequate in front of similar German vehicles. However, when used
in a coordinated way, they managed to achieve good results. The
Crusaders Mk. II, with the arrival of the more powerful Mk.III, were
already relegated to second-line duties at the time of the battle of El Alamein.
