A gripping account of the Second World War, from the perspective of a young tank commander. In 1944, David Render was a nineteen-year-old second lieutenant fresh from Sandhurst when he was sent to France. Joining the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry five days after the D-Day landings, the combat-hardened men he was sent to command did not expect him to last long. However, in the following weeks of ferocious fighting in which more than 90 per cent of his fellow tank commanders became casualties, his ability to emerge unscathed from countless combat engagements earned him the nickname of the 'Inevitable Mr Render'. In Tank Action Render tells his remarkable story, spanning every major episode of the last year of the Second World War from the invasion of Normandy to the fall of Germany. Ultimately it is a story of survival, comradeship and the ability to stand up and be counted as a leader in combat.

The technology that separates the lumbering Heavy Mk I tank of 1916 from the Challenger main battle tank of 1994 may be aeons apart, but the basic skills of the tank commander have remained unchanged. Whether the scenario is the first tank-versus-tank engagement at Villers-Bretonneux in 1918, or the decimation of Iraqi armour by Allied tanks in the Gulf War of 1991, the perennial qualities of efficiency, bravery, quick-wittedness and initiative still shine through. In Tank Action the author looks in detail at forty-two individual low-level battles spanning eighty years of armoured warfare. He has chosen from as many different scenarios as possible so that details of less well-known actions are not overshadowed by the more famous. Emphasis is given to the individual tank commanders involved, but the author is ever mindful of the fact that a tank commander is only as good as his crew, without whom he would be unable to engage and destroy the enemy. Supported by a vast array of photographs, maps and line drawings, Tank Action is a comprehensive and carefully crafted evocation of life at the sharp end of tank warfare, as seen from the dramatic perspective of the tank crews themselves.

First-hand accounts from the Russian veterans of World War II who fought in the celebrated tanks that powered the Soviet armored forces. The Soviet T-34 medium tank was one of the most famous and effective fighting vehicles of the Second World War. Along with the German Tiger and the American Sherman, it was a milestone in tank design that changed the course of the conflict. Much has been written about the technical history of the tank and the vital part it played in the huge tank battles on the Eastern Front, but less has been said about the men who went to war in the T-34 and lived, fought and sometimes died in these remarkable machines. This pioneering book, which is based on extensive interviews with tank crews, records their experiences and offers a compelling inside view of armored warfare in the mid-twentieth century. “An engaging book, and you will find yourself feeling the discomfort, anxiety, fear, pride and joy of a Soviet Tanker in WWII as you read the T-34 in Action.”—Military Trader “An excellent read and a good book for tank enthusiasts.”—The Armourer

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The invasion was delayed by a storm, and the soldiers were not aware of the decision to postpone the operation. The seasickness tablets they were given did little to help, and they were not aware of General Dwight Eisenhower's decision to postpone the operation. #2 The largest combined-arms invasion force had ever seen set off on June 6, 1944. The naval task force pulverized the shoreline defences with ten tons of high explosives a minute. #3 The Atlantic Wall was the Nazi's defense system for the Atlantic coast of Europe. It was built with the assumption that the Allies would land in the Pas de Calais area, but Rommel also thought that a landing further south in the Bay of the Somme or along the Cotentin Peninsula was possible. #4 Rommel's command style and constant inspections of the Atlantic Wall had led to significant strengthening of the defenses all along the coast. But he knew there were still gaps and he needed more panzers and Hitler was the only man who could give them to him.
