Soldier's first hand accounts of First World War Tank combat?
Permalink   


Hello All, 

I'm working on a television documentary regarding Great War tank battles and I'm searching for first hand accounts from soldiers (both Allied and German) - from any battle that involved tanks. I've identified a few books that should help with the British/Australian/Canadian perspective, but I need some help and suggestions as to where to find German accounts.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Victor Kushmaniuk

Hi Victor,
I have a series of letters from various members of the 9th battalion Tank Corps relating to the death of my Grandfather at Sauvillers on 23rd July 1918 describing the action in detailfrom several viewpoints -- any interest?
Regards, Kev Smith.

Can't see why not. What are you specifically interested in? (there's quite a lot of matierial) - I have a fair bit of it already scanned in, but by no means all,
                                                                                          regards, Kev.
