This facsimile edition of the US 1942 field manual for tank
destroyer units describes missions, organization, combat, and
training. It scales its information from squad to company to
battalion to group. Issued early during the United States' WWII
experience, it predates the assignment of authorized tank destroyer
gear: "It is prepared for the guidance of units that will be
equipped with materiel now being developed..." Readers should
recall that US WWII doctrine and the high command forbade tank vs.
tank combat. The American tank was meant for targets other than
Axis armor. However, tank destroyer units were specifically
designed, equipped, and deployed to fight what we now think of as
tank battles. This is an historic document that gives us deep
insight into a long-forgotten military doctrine. For those who
think of tank destroyers as cheap tanks or stopgaps, this will be
an eye-opener.
