Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "How These US Tankers Broke Down The German Front Line | Greatest Tank Battles | Timeline" video.

  1. You get the impressions that tanks alone did the fighting in this video, but truth be told, tanks are part of combined arms warfare than include infantry (no dedicated mechanized infrantry units in any army until after WW2), and artillery. Infantry are vital in providing flanking protection for tanks, against other infanty using Panzerfaust or Panzerschreck anti-armour rockets or anti-tank guns. Artillery provides fire support and fire supression (of enemy guns and tanks and infantry), for your tanks. Tank columns operating alone are particularly vulnerable to flanking infantry and anti-tank gunnery attacks.
