I'm preparing a paper on American WWII tank destroyers and their doctrine. I'm about to order some books to help in my research but several Google searchs have so far come up fruitless. If anyone knoes of a good site or has has any personal knowledge to share I'd be greatly appreciative.

Right now I'm looking at US Tank and Tank Destroyer Battalions in the ETO 1944-45 (Battle Orders) , M10 and M36 Tank Destroyers 1942-53 (New Vanguard) , and M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer 1943-97 (New Vanguard) all written by Stephen Zaloga as my primary sources. I need 2,000 words total so I don't know how in depth I can get. I'm hoping to start working on a preliminary outline in a week or so once things settle down as my grandmother recently passed away.Last edited by Wraith601; 03 Feb 06,, 07:49.

You should really look up Russian and German dispatches after Kursk. The Russians attacked the Elefant Tank Destroyer from the side rather than frontally, greatly reducing there effectiveness."Any relations in a social order will endure if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy, which qualifies life for immortality." ~ George William Russell
