And that is my only source, but I was too lazy to look for
anything else.The_Chieftain: Yes, I wrote that article. It does not support your
contention. One of the things that gets drilled into you in
OCS is “Show me the regs.” Armored Force doctrine was laid
out in FM 17-10, it’s available online in PDF
format. Next time someone comes back to you with the statement
that “American tanks weren’t supposed to fight other tanks”, give
them the link to the FM, and ask them to show you where, in the
written doctrine signed and approved by General Marshall, Chief of
Staff of the Army on behalf of the Secretary of War with force of
direct order, it says that tanks were not to fight other tanks.
Tank destroyers were doctrinally a purely
defensive/reactionary concept, with only minor modifications
permitted in the 1944 revision
