THE ARMOUREDCAMPAIGN INITALY

Beginning with the D-Day landings, this is a frank appraisal of the planned use and actual results of the deployment of armour by both German and Allied commanders in the major tank battles of the campaign including Epsom, Goodwood, Cobra and Totalize. 'Tiger!' is a critique of how Montgomery's plans to seize territory and break out failed in the face of German resistance. It details the poor planning by British generals who made many mistakes and how the German convoluted chain of command contributed to their own defeat. Official reports, war diaries, After Action reports, letters, regimental histories, memoirs of generals and troopers are used to tell the inside story of the campaign from an armour point of view to give a different but detailed perspective. For the first time the book gives real numbers of tanks lost in the battle of the campaign from research at archives around the world.

Incepand cu debarcarile din ziua D, aceasta este o evaluare sincera a utilizarii planificate si a rezultatelor reale ale desfasurarii armurii atat de catre comandantii germani, cat si de catre cei aliati in marile batalii de tancuri ale campaniei, inclusiv Epsom, Goodwood, Cobra si Totalize. 'Tigru!' este o critica a modului in care planurile lui Montgomery de a cuceri teritoriul si de a izbucni au esuat in fata rezistentei germane.
