About this product
Product Information
Normandy 1944. Like most of his comrades Ken Tout was just 20 years old. Not until many years later did he feel able to gather their memoirs in three Hale books, Tank! , Tanks, Advance! and To Hell with Tanks! . Now these adventures are condensed into this one continuous narrative. Follow the ordinary young lads of the Northamptonshire Yeomanry through the massive enemy defences on Bourguebus Ridge, to the snows of the Ardennes, to the night crossing of the River Rhine, and finally to Grote KerkI, where they celebrated with liberated Dutch citizens. They were not professional soldiers but young conscripts willing to 'do their bit', knowing that their Shermans were outgunned by the enemy's much heavier Tiger and Panther tanks. By Tank: D Day to VE Days vividly recalls, in one complete volume, the whole experience of battle with utter authenticity: the fear, confusion, boredom, excitement and grief.Product Identifiers

Amazing insight into the world of the WW2 Tank crew.
Book in good condition, found it to be the best book I have read about being in a tank crew during the Second World War in Europe. Ken Tout brings to life the sounds, sights and smells of being a tank crew member. The strategies' and highs and lows of warfare in Europe are brilliantly captured, along with the more domestic side of day to day living in a war zone. I especially liked the tales of interactions with the civilian population in France and Belgium, who paid a terrible price during the various military actions of both sides and are often forgotten.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
