Description
Tanks at the Iron Curtain 1946-60: A Study of Early Cold War Armor in Central Europe. The early years of the Cold War saw a significant buildup of armored forces along the dividing line between East and West in Europe. This study examines the development and deployment of tanks on both sides, including the Soviet T-44/T-54 and IS-3, British Centurion, US Army M26/M46 Pershing, and other post-war models. The book explores key technical trends of the era, such as shaped-charge anti-tank projectiles, anti-tank missiles, and chemical/nuclear protection. It also considers the influence of post-war doctrine and tactics on tank technology, including the impact of regional conflicts like the 1950 Korean War and the war in Indo-China.
