Description: |
Tank operations require a well-trained and focused crew. This book identifies the roles played in the tank, such as commander, gunner, driver, loader and assistant driver, as well as the variety of specialised clothing and personal weaponry used by the soldiers. |
Synopsis: |
This title is structured around the career of a single tanker from 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division, revealing what it was like to live and fight in a medium tank. The focus is largely on the crew of an M4 Sherman, though light tank service is also studied. Tank operation required a well trained and well coordinated crew. The crew positions and roles of tank commander, gunner, driver, loader, and assistant driver are all covered in detail, together with recruitment procedure, specialist training, and the variety of specialised clothing and personal weaponry. |
