[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author uses several battles between United States and German tanks during 1944-1945 to compare the performance of both tanks and tankers. He also addresses tactics and strategy for both sides.

Gripping read of pitched battle of actual combat encounters with vaunted German Panzers often when odds were decidedly in favor of the Panzers. Good read!
