As the war began to swing in favour of the Allies, it became clear
that no final defeat of the Third Reich would be possible until the
armoured monsters of the Panzerwaffe were defeated. But who would,
or even could, take on the mighty Tigers and Panthers, just a
handful of which could stop entire formations in their tracks? The
answer lay with the formation of a new type of unit, the Tank
Destroyer Battalion. This is the story of the men and machines that
made up the very first Tank Destroyer Battalion, the 601st, from
their unique training and formation, to the final, desperate
battles in the heart of Nazi Germany. Packed with rare material,
letters, diaries and previously unpublished photographs, and now
available in paperback, this is an intense and intimate chronicle
of the men who fought the Panzers in an astonishing 10 campaigns
and 546 days of lethal combat.
