The Churchill Tank's unique look was inherited from the needs of the First World War; the tank was designed to cross shell-cratered ground and trenches, and to destroy barbed wire and parapets. In 1942, the Churchill was the heaviest armoured British tank in service and its cross-country capability was considered to be excellent. The Churchills I, II and III first saw active service at Dieppe in 1942, performing badly during the Dieppe Raid, its small road wheels and weight proving a bad combination on the loose shingle beach. Despite the bloody start to combat at Dieppe the tanks proved more successful in North Africa and a reliable design for the rest of the war.
