The Vital British Boiling Vessel
🕑 Added 2022-05-20 10:15:59 +0000 UTCThere should be a video displaying above... but Patreon doesn't seem to like shorts. I've gotten in touch with Patreon support and they say that it's a problem on their end, and that they're working on it, but that they have no idea when it will be fixed. So, in the meantime, here's a link to the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6U74vVKoAw8. Thanks for your patience!
This story struck me as a perfect example of an invention that seems unimportant, but which (over the course of many years) has saved hundreds (if not thousands) of lives.
If you want to read a bit more about the battle referenced in the video, here's an article about it that goes into a lot of detail - including one British tank missing its chance to defend itself because the gunner was outside, "spending a penny"!

No problem - hopefully they'll fix the issue soon. I think shorts work a little different from normal YouTube videos. Glad you liked it!

Excellent. It seems to be working for at least some people this time.
The embed sadly doesn't work for me when I click on it, so I appreciate that you've included the URL in the post too. Thanks, good little piece of history you found!
Was able to connect to the video without issue! 👍🏼
