Reviews
At first this pocket-sized book looks fairly innocuous, but I was pleasantly surprised by the content and the way that a veritable mountain of information is presented. Wholesale chapters of official training documents are presented which are put into context with personal reports to illustrate the difference between theory and reality. (Been there, got the T-shirt!)The editor draws on manuals from Great Britain, Germany, U.S.A. and the Soviet Union and then adds relevant reports on the experiences that crews experienced in different theaters. My favorite pieces are from the Burma campaign and the Northants Yeomanry in Normandy. Numerous sketches and diagrams support each section to illustrate the subject matter. A fascinating read that I will no doubt refer back to time over time. Highly recommended., "From the pioneering tactics and terror of the Blitzkrieg assault, through the carnage of Barbarossa, Kursk, the Desert War, and the Normandy Bocage and the Battle of the Bulge, there were perhaps no more unsettling and merciless positions to occupy in the Second World War than that of a tank commander. This new book puts the reader at the very heart of this "hell on wheels" and presents all of the original information required to perform this most dangerous of wartime battlefield roles. rom training manuals and war office memorandums to combat reports and first-hand accounts, The Tank Commander Pocket Manual places you in the turret position of commander of some of the most fearsome land vehicles. These include the Soviet T-34, the German Panther and its nemesis the American Sherman, the terrifying Tiger I as well as tank variants including flamethrowers and tank destroyers such as the Allied M10 and the StuG III. Original documents, diagrams, technical drawings and reports have been collated and compiled from archives and collections to include original Russian, German and English angles on the commander's many roles including how to 'run' the rest of the crew of this most decisive weapon of WWII.", this little gem contains a wealth of information that is sure to please anyone with an interest in history and armor...a great treasure trove of lesser known facts about training, tactics and first-hand account reports. The author well documents where she found the information for compiling this book in the "Sources" section and is ideal for someone wanting to conduct their own research on a particular area in the book that interests them. ..., At first this pocket-sized book looks fairly innocuous, but I was pleasantly surprised by the content and the way that a veritable mountain of information is presented.
