		It was a regular division in the Middle East, designated the Mobile Division at first, renamed the Armoured Division (Egypt) in September 1939, and finally 7th Armoured Division on 16 February 1940.
		The Division remained in Germany as part of the occupation forces and then into the 1950s as part of the British Army of the Rhine standing watch against the Warsaw Pact.

		The 7th Armoured then withdrew to the Nile Delta to refit, and was not at the front when the German Afrika Korps bundled the British back out of Libya in the spring of 1941.

	Nase noviny - The M3/M5 (Honey/Stuart) Light Tank
		In combat, the tactics used by the British against Rommel's Afrika-Korps were often a greater disadvantage than the natural disproportion of the vehicles armour and armament to actual battlefield conditions.
		Conditions were for the most part similar for Germans and British alike, however, the lay-out of the fighting compartment, the roles of each member of the crew, as well as tactics used during tank battles proved to have decisive influence on the success of each engagement.
		A gradual shift from riveted armour to welded turrets and later hulls could be seen throughout the development of the M3 and the M5.
