Book Reviews of World War II Infantry Anti-Tank Tactics (Elite)
Book Review: Superb guide to ww2 anti-tank infantry doctrine
Summary: 5 Stars
With world war one the tank was introduced and began the revolution in ground warfare. In world war two the revolution was essentially achieved with only slightly more achieved with the actions in the Middle east by the Israilies.
This little booklet shows how the infantry in Germany, Britain, the US, Japan and the Soviet Union (which pretty much represents all infantry of the war) developed doctrine and weaponry with which to cope with the new menace much as the infantry of the middle ages developed tactics with the Pike, the Halberd and other weapons to cope and then pull down the armored knight.
Their success level varies with the Japanese at the worst end.
My only regret is that this book doesn't cover the Finnish Infantry who successfully defended their country from Soviet Tank assaults during the winter war.
Otherwise an excellant book.
Summary of World War II Infantry Anti-Tank Tactics (Elite)
The battlefield interaction between infantry and tanks was central to combat on most fronts in World War II (1939-1945). The first ?Blitzkrieg? campaigns saw the tank achieve a new dominance. New infantry tactics and weapons ? some of them desperately dangerous ? had to be adopted, while the armies raced to develop more powerful anti-tank guns and new light weapons. By 1945, a new generation of revolutionary shoulder-fired AT weapons was in widespread use. This book explains in detail the shifting patterns of anti-tank combat, illustrated with photographs, diagrams and colour plates showing how weapons were actually employed on the battlefield.Strategy Books
