Mitzel. During World War II, the 781st Tank Battalion tested 40 Sherman tanks to find the best available configuration and fastest solution, the "Easy Eight." This tank was quick and easy to manufacture and proved to be such an effective fighting vehicle that it served for 30 years. Equipped with this new tank, the 781st deployed to Europe where it halted Hitler's last major offensive in the West, Operation Nordwind. 240 pages, 6¼"x 9", hardcover
