The Cromwell tank , officially Cruiser, Mk VIII, was one of the series of cruiser tanks fielded by Britain in WW2. Named after the English Civil War leader, Oliver Cromwell, the tank proved to be an adept and rugged fighting machine and served until the end of the War. The Cromwell was the first tank put into service by the British to combine high speed from a powerful and reliable engine (the Rolls-Royce Meteor ), and reasonable armour. It managed to hold its own through better manoeuvrability, due to its relatively small size, and reliability in combat, something sorely lacking in German armour.
