Il carro armato-cacciacarri Crusader (Mk.I, Mk.II e Mk.III) fu forse il più tipico e noto mezzo militare impiegato dalla Gran Bretagna durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Armato di cannone da  57mm, era dotato di un motore molto potente ed affidabile, ben combinato con la sospensione Christie, che consentiva maggiori velocità, anche grazie al peso contenuto (che andava a scapito della protezione) soprattutto su un terreno pianeggiante come il paesaggio nordafricano. Il Crusader Mk.III fu il cacciacarri più prodotto e già nel 1939 ne furono costruiti 65 esemplari destinati a combattere con successo in Nord Africa, nella prima parte della guerra in Libia.
