Tank! by 7273206|Ken Tout book cover

📘 Tank!
 by Ken Tout

This short book is a novelette-sized experiential treatment. It is raw, full of the period banter between the men of a tank battalion in Normandy. The characters crass humour is exquisitely raw. Much of the book is claustrophobic as it describes life in a Sherman tank during the height of the Normandy Campaign. It was a meat grinder where casualties were anywhere from 60 - 70%, with Allied armies often fighting top-notch German Armoured divisions. But the democratic armies won - and is partially explained why in "Tank." We were practical if fatalistic, which made for our high morale, one of our best assets.
