Book excerpt: This is the story of the exploits of the 3rd Battalion Royal Tank Regiment during World War II as seen through the eyes of one of its most experienced tank commanders. Its baptism of fire came in 1940 during the heroic defence of Calais where all its tanks and vehicles were lost. In November 1940, the battalion was sent to North Africa and figured in most of the desert battles. In early 1941 the battalion was withdrawn from the line and sent to Greece where its tanks were finally neither strong enough or numerous enough to stop the onslaught on the German divisions. All its tanks and vehicles were again lost, and only some 200 officers and men of the battalion eventually landed back in Egypt, after various adventures. The battalion played a considerable part in the bloody fighting at Sidi Resegh. It took part in the famous Left Hook battle with the New Zealanders, making a considerable contribution to the success of the battle and subsequent forcing of the Gabes Gap in the Mareth line, and the entry into Tripoli. The battalion played its part in the El Alamein battle, once again receiving heavy casualties, but went on with success at Alam Halfa and Gazala and the final advance to

Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, this is the story of the exploits of the 3rd Battalion Royal Tank Regiment during World War II as seen through the eyes of one of its most experienced tank commanders. The 3rd RTR had a remarkable war. Its baptism of fire came in 1940 during the heroic defence of Calais where, unfortunately, after withstanding six days of continuous siege, almost three-quarters of its personnel were either killed, wounded, or 'put in the bag'. In November 1940, re-fitted and back to strength in personnel, the battalion was sent to North Africa and figured in most of the desert battles. In early 1941 just after starting out on General Wavell's first desert advance, the battalion was withdrawn from the line and sent to Greece. There, after some four months of active service in the North, where its tanks were neither strong enough or numerous enough to stop the onslaught of the German divisions, the remnants finally collected themselves in the glades of Gliphda and Daphne near Athens, prior to evacuation. All its tanks and vehicles were again lost, and only some 200 officers and men of the battalion eventually landed back in Egypt, after various adventures. Once again made up to strength in both personnel and tanks, the battalion played a considerable part in the bloody fighting at Sidi Resegh, Bir Hackeim and Knightsbridge. It led in part the advances to Agedabia and Msus, and back to Alamein. It took part in the famous 'Left HOOK' battle with the New Zealanders, making a considerable contribution to the success of the battle and subsequent forcing of the Gabes Gap and the Mareth line, and the entry into Tripoli. Following the desert battles and marches through Agedabia for the second time and the ignominious retreat back to Alamein. The battalion enjoyed a period of rest and recuperation in the Delta. The battalion played its part in the El Alamein battle, once again receiving heavy casualties, but went on with success at Alam Halfa and Gazala and the final advance to Enfidaville. Sadly, the battalion is no more, having been amalgamated with the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment.
Book Synopsis Tank Turret Fortifications by : Neil Short
Download or read book Tank Turret Fortifications written by Neil Short and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tank Turret Fortifications traces the origins of the idea from the development of the first armoured turrets in the nineteenth century through to the present day. On the way it covers the inter-war period when the first turrets were used in this way, the Second World War, when tank turrets were used on every front in the European Theatre of Operations, and the post-war period, when tank turrets were used even more widely. The book also details the decline of the idea as countries reassessed the threats they faced and slowly dismantled all their fixed fortifications. Widely used during World War Two and since, tank turret fortifications deserve a history, and Neil Short has spent several years writing this, the first proper study.
