Fast, relatively well-armed, but weakly armored, the M18 was designed from the start as a tank destroyer, unlike the M10 and M36. By September 1944, the German Armys armored divisions fielded the Panther tank alongside the PzKpfw IV. In this book, William Hiestand notes that the Panthers combination of long-range firepower, impressive armour, and good mobility won it a fearsome reputation, but shows how the M18 proved to be a very able opponent when the two types clashed on a foggy September morning during the battle of Arracourt.</p><p>Fully illustrated with specially commissioned artwork and mapping alongside archive photographs, this lively study examines the origins, development, strengths, and limitations of the two AFVs as well as their crews training, doctrine, and combat effectiveness. It also provides a detailed account of the momentous battle between the US 704th Tank Destroyer Battalion and the German Panzer-Brigade 113 at Arracourt, where the two types clashed in a surprising encounter that challenges our preconceptions about armored warfare in World War II.</p>...7175526M18 Hellcat vs Panther338356https://www.gandhi.com.mx/m18-hellcat-vs-panther-9781472862181/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7181074/image.jpg?v=638846880075170000InStockMXN99999PR_DIEbook20259781472862181_W3siaWQiOiI4ZDRlNzVlNC1kOWNiLTRhYzItOWU0MS0zODIzN2UwN2FjYTQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM1NiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE4LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjMzOCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjp0cnVlfV0=9781472862181_<p><strong>This fully illustrated study examines the bloody battle between the US Armys M18 tank destroyer and Germanys formidable Panther tank at Arracourt in September 1944.</strong></p><p>In response to Germanys Blitzkrieg victories of 193941, the US Army created a dedicated tank-destroyer force intended to encircle and destroy the massed attacking armored divisions.
