A gripping account of the Second World War, from the perspective of a young tank commander.
In 1944, David Render was a nineteen-year-old second lieutenant fresh from Sandhurst when he was sent to France. Joining the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry five days after the D-Day landings, the combat-hardened men he was sent to command did not expect him to last long. However, in the following weeks of ferocious fighting in which more than 90 per cent of his fellow tank commanders became casualties, his ability to emerge unscathed from countless combat engagements earned him the nickname of the 'Inevitable Mr Render'.
In Tank Action Render tells his remarkable story, spanning every major episode of the last year of the Second World War from the invasion of Normandy to the fall of Germany. Ultimately it is a story of survival, comradeship and the ability to stand up and be counted as a leader in combat.

It was amazing to listen to the experiences of him and his unit that he went from from D-Day to VE Day. I loved learning about some of the stuff that you might never find out in a book about tanks such as in his unit, the lead tank would generally have a smoke shell loaded in the event that they were fired upon by a concealed tank, they could throw smoke in the in its face if it missed on the first shot.
Definite a recommend if you have a interest in World War 2 or tanks.
