The TDB was a type of military unit used by the United States Army during World War II. The unit was organized in one of two different forms—a towed battalion equipped with anti-tank guns, or a mechanized battalion equipped with armored self-propelled guns. The tank destroyer units were formed in response to the German use of massed formations of armored vehicles units early in WWII. The tank destroyer concept envisioned the battalions acting as independent units that would respond at high speed to large enemy tank attacks. In this role, they would be attached in groups or brigades to corps or armies. In practice, they were usually individually attached to infantry divisions. Over one hundred battalions were formed, of which more than half saw combat service. The force was disbanded shortly after the end of the war when the concept had been shown to be militarily unsound.
What makes this particular tank recognition chart so unique is that it shows US, Japanese, Russian, and German tanks. This chart was meant to be used across various theaters of operation with some of the most recognized and famous tanks of World War II. The chart also comes with an incredible sketch/photo-interpretation of the various tanks.
