Polish Independence Day
At the end of 18th century Poland was partitioned, its territories annexed by nearby empires. But at the end of WWI Russia bowed out of the war, while Austria-Hungary and Germany capitulated. It allowed Poland to regain its freedom in 1918 — and it celebrates its Independence Day on November 11th, the anniversary of the end of World War I.

Tactics: Chieftain
At the end of the 1960s, the British military received a main battle tank of the new generation. The Chieftain, as it was called, was very different from its European and Soviet counterparts. Chieftains remained in service for several decades and proved to be pretty effective: after all, at the end of the 20th century, it was the Chieftain that became the base for a new generation of British MBTs.

Italian National Unity and Armed Forces Day
On November 3rd, 1918, Austria-Hungary capitulated in World War I, its territorial concessions allowing Italy to complete its reunification that began way back in the middle of the XIX century. Thus November 4th, the day that the armistice went into effect, is celebrated as National Unity and Armed Forces Day. Italians were celebrating it before Mussolini’s rise to power, during his premiership and after where it’s the only holiday to have remained in effect for the past century.

Grumman Aircraft
There are precious few aircraft designers that started their career by making biplanes and finished it making supersonic jets… but there are even fewer engineers that got their foot in the door by designing naval biplanes and made it to supersonic carrier-based fighter jets. Spoiler: there’s only one such engineer, and his name was Leroy Grumman.

Happy Anniversary War Thunder!
We celebrate a wonderful date - November the 1st is the 10 year anniversary of War Thunder!
Dreams come true: Sturmtiger
The 38cm Sturmmörser commonly known as the “Sturmtiger” is a German SPG from WWII built on the chassis of the Tiger heavy tank. It is a specialized SPG for city battles: its 380mm cannon is excellent for destroying buildings and fortified points but when fighting against other vehicles, it has low accuracy and a long reload time. It may be difficult to hit anything with it, but if you succeed, your enemy will be in trouble - everyone will envy such a caliber!
