Beschreibung
Forgotten Armour is a new appraisal of the role of tanks in India and Burma in the Second World War. Often regarded primarily as an infantryman's war in dense jungle and through monsoon conditions, The book shows that this is far from the whole story. Using original research from places such as the National Archives, eyewitness testimony, and official histories, as well as more recent academic studies. Beginning with the failure to fully mechanise the interwar Indian Army, and tracing the development of armoured training, logistics and tactics, Forgotten Armour tells the story of the Second World War in India and Burma from the cramped interior of tanks. It will show that much of the effort of the war was built around getting armour to the front and keeping it there. Once tanks arrived, and bunker busting methods were devised, armour proved decisive in their encounters against the Japanese, and saved countless Allied lives. It is time to remember the forgotten army's forgotten armour.
