Based on interviews, unpublished diaries and memoirs, 'The Men and the Machines that Beat Hitler' is the story of the veterans who fought in the 5th Royal Tank Regiment - a team of ordinary men who faced the front line in Europe and beyond. Their involvement in the Second World War spanned the humiliating defeat at Dunkirk, victory in the deserts of North Africa and finally saw resentment and revolt before D-Day. Episode 1 covers the Egypt Mission; Operation Crusader; the Battles of Sidi Rezegh, Gazala, Alam El Halfa and El Alamein; and the Axis defeat in North Africa
