So, Chobham armour was developed by the British...

did you know that 1) british tanks have specially designed tea making equipment so the crews can brew while buttoned up? and 2) the reason for this stems from one specific incident about a week after D-Day when, while off their tanks making tea and discussing their next move, a british armored battalion was ambushed and had its ass kicked by fewer than a dozen German tanks, and they bugged out before the british could really engage them.
