Designed at the start of World War II, the Crusader was one of the most important British "cruiser" tanks, reaching a production level of over 5000 units.
Equipped with a Christie suspension with large diameter road wheels, the Crusader had remarkable handling characteristics over rough terrain.
The first versions of the Mk. I and Mk. II were armed with a 2 pdr gun, later replaced by the more powerful 6 pdr gun on the Mk.III.
Lacking adequate armour against enemy fire, it was also very vulnerable to enemy mines and anti-tank guns, and its armament was often inadequate against similar German vehicles.
However, when used in a coordinated manner, they achieved good results.
