where they not only had superior technology they had optimal positions

'Tank' actually comes from the 'cover story' 
the Brits used to develop the tanks.
In the cover story the 'tanks' were to be used
to transport fresh water to the front lines.

I'd heard this, but also that it was actually called WC after Winston
Churchill, with WC commonly used to refer to water closet, or
'necessaries'
as it is more delicately known. Tank from toilet; the other cover story
covered more than just keeping the enemy unawares, according to the
version
I came across.	;->=
