Armor in Normandy: The British
Alexandre Thers
Each mini-guide allows the reader to get to know more about a
region's history, linking historical events with places of interest
and sites of note, as well as providing an unprecedented visual
feast of photographs, uniforms, badges and equipment. Practical
information is included in each mini-guide and itineraries are
suggested for those wishing to visit battlefields, monuments,
memorials and museums.
The prospect of the Overlord landings in Normandy caused the
British to completely reappraise the role of armor in their planning.
To capture and hold the beaches, they employed an entirely new
doctrine based largely on the deployment of a whole range of
unusual designs, and specialist vehicles, amphibious tanks, mine
destroyers, bridging devices…
As well as using novel ideas the British also relied on sheer strength
of number and used far more tanks during the landings than did their
American allies.
This mini-guide considers, in detail, the various British armored
formations; their structure, and the type of vehicles with which they
were equipped, their combat tactics, and method of deployment.
Soft Cover, 32 pages, b/w & color photos - maps.
