American Forces in Action Series presents detailed accounts of
particular combat operations of United States forces. Twelfth in
the series of studies on particular combat operations, St-Lo is the
story of a corps in First Army during the bitter July battle that
led up to and made possible the great breakthrough from the
Normandy beachheads. This was the period of the most intense
hedgerow fighting. XIX Corps' part in it has been chosen to
illustrate this type of combat. This document addresses the July
offensive, XIX Corps attacks west of the Vire, opening attack on
St-Lo, XIX has slow going, and the last phase of the battle.
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.
