I too keep finding more technological surprises from WW II. My focus is crypto. Everyone knows of the Enigma machine and the Bombe that cracked it (thanks to movie The Imitation Game). But Colossus broke the Lorenz and that was more of a computer than anything of the time. And the US cracked the Japanese Purple machine.
As to the tanks, the article says they were easily defeated by later anti-tank devices. And what if the enemy jammed the radios, or worse, turned them around!
