By 1944, the evolution of armoured doctrine had produced very
different outcomes in Britain and Germany. Offering a good balance
of speed, protection and firepower, the British Cromwell tank was
much faster than its German opponent, but the Jagdpanzer IV tank
destroyer had a high-velocity main gun and a lower profile that
made it formidable on the defensive, especially in ambush
situations. The two types would fight in a series of bloody
encounters, from the initial days of the struggle for Normandy
through to its climax as the Allies sought to trap their opponents
in the Falaise Pocket.
Using archive photographs, specially
commissioned artwork and battle reports, this fascinating study
expertly assesses the realities of tactical armoured combat during
the desperate battles after D-Day.
