The Second battle of Villers-Bretonneux represented a critical turning point in the Great War. While most fans of military history recall the first battle between tanks, the fate of the A7V "Mephisto" tells the story of tank warfare in the First World War. The History Guy recalls the story of the only surviving A7V.
