Tank Wrecks of the Western Front 1940-1945
Early in the Second World War in Western Europe the German victors regularly photographed and posed with destroyed or abandoned Allied armor. Then, when the tide of the war turned against them in 1944-5, their wrecked and burnt-out Panzers were photographed by the victorious Allies during the key battles for Normandy and the Ardennes. During their invasion of France the Germans left 4,500 smashed French tanks in their wake, and these were a popular subject for their photographs.
These wartime photographers created an extraordinary record of the many thousands of tank wrecks that littered the battlefields, and Anthony Tucker-Jones has selected a fascinating visual guide to the fate of the numerous types of tank employed by the American, British, French and German armies throughout the conflict.All the principal tanks are represented - Renaults, Matildas, Churchills, Shermans,
