HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
Different production variants of the M4 Sherman:
|
Various German tanks, all of which outclass any Sherman variant in armor and firepower
|
Spearhead, by Adam Makos, is a personal favorite and a novel I would recommend to anyone who would like to learn more about the experiences of both American, and to lesser extent, German tankers during the war. The novel mainly focuses on an American tank gunner, Clarence Smoyer, and the experiences he witnessed as he served in both M4 Shermans and their successor, the M26 Pershing. The novel also includes the story of Gustav Schaefer, a young man taken from his family farm and forced to fight for a losing country.
