Makes you wonder how they managed in the 'field' ? Its all very well on flat concrete with the odd fork lift truck & crane to move the tracks for you. I wonder if there's any wartime film footage of the same activity?

Exactly my thoughts when I watched it, little wonder lots of tanks got abandoned.

It certainly helped having track cables on the Tiger 1.
