"The under-gunning of allied tanks was an outrageously criminal lack of concern by the War Office. It resulted in what was in effect the murder of thousands of tank crewmen, a series of acts for which the War Office seems incapable of accepting responsibility."
Seems the War Department saw that we were advancing and that enemy tanks were being destroyed and figured that up-gunning the hardware wasn't necessary.

Morning Darksheare. I think it's more a case of bureaucrats refusing to accept facts from the battlefield and admit they were wrong.
