During World War I, the German Army used the Mephisto tank in the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux. However, the tank became stuck in a shell hole and was abandoned by its crew. The Australian Army later found the tank and attempted to tow it back to their lines but had to abandon it due to heavy fire.
After several attempts, the Australians successfully retrieved the Mephisto tank, and it became a source of controversy between Australia and Germany. The Germans demanded the return of the tank, but the Australians refused.
Join Holly and Matthew as they recount the tale of recovery and adventure of the tank, and go on a mini-rant about British Army commanders.
