Book Description
An exhilarating combat history of the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion, the very first pure Tank Destroyer force. As the war began to swing in favour of the Allies, it became clear that no final defeat of the Third Reich would be possible until the armoured monsters of the Panzerwaffe were defeated. But who would, or even could, take on the mighty Tigers and Panthers, just a handful of which could stop entire formations in their tracks? The answer lay with the formation of a new type of unit, the Tank Destroyer Battalion. This is the story of the men and machines that made up the very first Tank Destroyer Battalion, the 601st, from their unique training and formation, to the final, desperate battles in the heart of Nazi Germany. Packed with rare material, letters, diaries and previously unpublished photographs, and now available in paperback, this is an intense and intimate chronicle of the men who fought the Panzers in an astonishing 10 campaigns and 546 days of lethal combat.

Hot Dogs & Croissants
Author: Natasha Saulnier
Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1629149934
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
When the Saulnier sisters suffer one disappointment too many in their native France, they decide to pack up and try their luck in America. As journalists they have the run of the country, following stories that take them to places where most Americans have never been—from the back roads of Appalachia to an underground village of homeless people in the New York City subway system. Tight on time, and even tighter on budget, the Saulnier sisters slid easily into a drive-thru diet. Along the way they dined on: • Nathan’s Famous hot dogs at the annual hot dog eating contest in Coney Island • Snapping Turtle Soup as prepared by the Native American elders of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe • Cheesy Grits from the Armadillo Diner in Texas • And Burgers, burgers, burgers everywhere! As the Saulnier sisters adopted the American way of eating, their relationship to food shortly changes; they soon gain weight—and lose their self-esteem. This new diet is especially hard on Victorine, who temporarily abandons her vegetarianism. It’s not until they meet a couple running an organic farm in upstate New York that they realize how far they’ve strayed from their native food values—and learn that you can eat well in America, too.
