"Patton Tanks"

This DVD is a collection of films on the US Army's "Patton Tanks". General Patton was considered one of the greatest Tank generals of all time. Although the Germans invented the tank term "Blitzkrieg", General Patton handed that tactic back to the Germans in droves to win the war with Hitler. Because of his success, 4 tanks were named after him in his honor. They were; 1st the M-46, then M47, to the M-48 and then finally, the Main Battle tank, the M-60. This DVD concentrates mostly on the M-48 and the M-60, but there is some interesting films on the early M-46 and M-47 too. We hope you'll enjoy.
