The Tanker Tapes: The 712th Tank Battalion in World War II M4A3 Sherman WW2

Description: The Tanker Tapes Aaron Elson's father served with the 712th Tank Battalion in World War 2. In 1987 Aaron attended a battalion reunion hoping to find veterans who remembered his father, who died in 1980. He found three, and all the stories he remembered from his youth came back to life. He returned two reunions later with a tape recorder, and has been preserving the stories of World War 2 veterans ever since. "The Tanker Tapes" is a collection of 11 audio CDs featuring full-length interviews with several World War 2 tankers. Two of the interviews are three-hours long. The stories about growing up in the Great Depression, about training in the horse cavalry before being mechanized, about the treatment in the hospital after being wounded, are as dramatic and entertaining as the stories of combat, of which there are many. Although it a stand-alone collection, "The Tanker Tapes" is also the first part of "The Tanker Tapes Trilogy," a collection of three oral history audiobooks that is available as a set.Other Oral History Audiobooks by Aaron Elson:
