Descriptionof Allied Tanks in Normandy 1944
Manufacturer

When Allied tanks began to roll off the landing craft on D-Day, it marked the start of one of the great periods of tank warfare in World War II. Often outgunned by the German Panzers, and fighting in the close confines of bocage country, they nevertheless managed to break out of Normandy and begin the liberation of Europe. It was a battle that was dominated by the Americans' legendary "Sherman", but also saw a wide and complex range of armour committed to battle across the many armies involved, from British Churchills and special-purpose "Funnies" to the Canadians' "Ram" tank. This book explains the qualities, strengths and weakness of the major British and U.S. tank types as well as associated Allied units in Normandy including the Canadians, Poles, and French, and how they really fought. It will discuss the organization and equipment of the units, providing thumbnail sketches of organization and doctrine as well as statistical data on the types and categories of AFVs that saw action, providing a handy and concise guide for military historians, wargamers and military modelers.
