I was just watching movie "the beast" about modern battle tank, and it made me wonder, with heavy german tanks in WW2, what kind of air conditioning, air fans were in there - cause it must of been unbearably hot in tank with 50mm of iron around you during the summer, I have same question regarding heating

Yes Smart Fashion Boy, not only did they have air conditioning, but the Tiger series also had a swimming pool on the engine "deck". DCC
