Description
The story of the 2nd Fife and Forfar Yeomanry's tank regiment during World War II is a harrowing and visceral account of life in the front lines. Through personal recollections, letters, diaries, and eyewitness accounts, the experiences of these men come alive, revealing the raw humanity behind the horrors of tank warfare. The men of the 2nd Fife and Forfar Yeomanry faced unimaginable dangers, from the nerve-wracking tension of serving in highly inflammable Sherman tanks to the desperate scramble to bail out after being hit by German shells. Yet, even amidst the chaos and destruction, their humanity shines through, offering a unique perspective on the human cost of war. This book changes how we think about tank warfare forever, providing a fresh and powerful insight into one of the most pivotal periods of the 20th century.
