Attached are the final 5 reports for this subject. These reports were collected from the US Army publication ‘Battle Experiences’. The publication date of each report is listed in the attachment title.
I hope the site members found these reports informative and useful. The reports show the Army units conducted a much more organized and dedicated anti-tank effort than written about in many books.
I post further reports about this subject if I encounter them in my research.
