| Description: | Select Guide Rating Focusing on the savage winter fighting during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, this book will appeal to tank enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in World War II. World War II saw tanks assume a dominant role in warfare, capable of tearing through the enemy lines if left unchecked. To combat the threat posed by these armored behemoths, the United States developed the M1 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher, better known as the Bazooka. First employed in combat during 1942, the weapon required a great deal of skill and courage to use effectively. By late 1944 it was a mainstay of the US infantry''s anti-tank capabilities, alongside towed weapons, anti-tank grenades, and other longer-established measures. |
