German Tanks in England

We might see German wheeled tanks being manufactured in Great Britain. Initial tests are underway as the UK Ministry of Defence is expected to announce its decision on the contract in late November. Krauss-Maffei Wegmann's wheeled tank Boxer is built together with the Dutch Stork NV. It's a news item entirely disregarded in the UK media. It shouldn't. For once, the historical significance of German tanks being assembled in Britain. And the potential multi-billion euro contract that might mean jobs in England.
