This is the story of a tank regiment: the 2nd Fife and Forfar Yeomanry
in the Second World War. Raw and visceral personal recollections from
the men themselves recall some of the most dramatic and horrific scenes
imaginable - the sheer nerve-wracking tension of serving in highly
inflammable Sherman tanks, the sudden impact of German shells, the
desperate scramble to bail out, and the awful fate of those who
couldn't. Even if they made it out of the tank, they were still
vulnerable to being brutally cut down by German infantry. Yet amidst
these horrors, the humanity of these men shines through. And as we
follow in their tracks, through letters, diaries and eye-witness
accounts, they will change how we think about tank warfare forever.
