Descriptionof Patton versus Panzers. The Battle of Arracourt, September 1944

In September 1944 Hitler ordered an attack on Gen. George Patton's Third Army, which was deep inside France making for the Rhine and threatening the German industrial heartland beyond. The ensuing battle near Arracourt - the U.S. Army's largest tank versus tank clash until the Bulge - went badly for the Germans, who committed their armor piecemeal and whose offensive was shattered in a series of intense, close-range tank duels with the Americans. Armor expert Steven Zaloga deftly reconstructs the battle and shows how American Sherman tanks bested superior German Panthers. Features legendary panzer general Hasso von Manteuffel and U.S. commanders John "Tiger Jack" Wood ("America's Rommel") and Creighton Abrams (namesake of the M1 Abrams tank). Thoroughly researched narrative draws on newly discovered American and German records that provide unprecedented detail

The internationally renowned tank expert Steven J. Zaloga analyses the background, the course and the consequences of the tank battle of Arracourt. He also describes the technical advantages and disadvantages of the German and American battle tanks.
