  • Death Traps

    A unique perspective on WWII in Europe. Worthwhile reading, however, quite a bit of erroneous detail. For example, the author states that the Ford V8 used to power many M4 Sherman tanks was originally a British aircraft engine. The engine was originally a Ford V12 aircraft engine. However, Ford was never able to reduce the level of vibration the engine produced when running to an acceptable level for aircraft use. So, they lopped off 4 cylinders and made it the most successful US tank engine of WWII. This is just one example of numerous technical details in the book which are incorrect or simply untrue.

  • I expect it to be both serious and comic.

    I have not fully read the book yet, just looked into it here and there. Where else can I read about the use of a tank recovery vehicle to retrieve a dead cow (steaks for supper!!) from the battlefield?

  • American Ingenuity

    It was a really interesting book. It told about the shortcomings of the Sherman tanks and how it came about. It was really interesting how the Soldiers were able to get them back into service after they were knocked out. A key to turning the war around. It was interesting how they had to make lists of the damaged ordinance and return it to logistics in order to get replacements. I think that would be done via e-mail today!

  • A great read!

    Awesome book will keep you glued to the end.
