Description
The Battle for Speed and Firepower: Cromwell Vs Jagdpanzer IV Normandy 1944 By 1944, the evolution of armored doctrine had produced very different outcomes in Britain and Germany. The British Cromwell tank was much faster than its German opponent, but the Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer boasted a high-velocity main gun and a lower profile that made it formidable on the defensive. This study assesses the realities of tactical armored combat during the desperate battles after D-Day, using archive photographs, specially commissioned artwork, and battle reports. The result is a fascinating exploration of the clash between two types of tanks in some of the most intense fighting of World War II.
