Tank Warfare In World War II, first hand accounts from Allied and Axis soldiers

Published by Magpie Books, 2004, softcover, 399 pages, condition: very good.

This book gives you first hand accounts from Allied and Axis Soldiers /an oral history. The tank is only as good as its crew, who are required to fight in a noisy, jarring, explosive-filled "box," knowing that, at any moment, they could be blown to bits. Lieutenant Colonel George Forty, who himself served for 32 years in Britain's Royal Tank Regiment, has gathered a vast range of firsthand accounts from the crewmen of both Allied and Axis powers, covering every theater of the war. The accounts are sometimes deceptively humorous, typifying the bravado shown by soldiers in the face of danger; almost all are revealing and deeply affecting.
