that tank destroyers were to be used to deal with large amounts of
tanks.The_Chieftain: Not exactly. The 1944 TD manual states: "Since the
armored division can meet strong armored attacks with
effective organic weapons, tank destroyers may execute
secondary missions on rare occasions, even when a hostile
armored attack or counterattack is imminent. However, in
most situations involving enemy armor, tank destroyers
are best employed in the execution of their primary mission"
Note that the Devers mission didn't conclude that the TD
units (or anti-tank artillery units, to use his preferred term)
should be gotten rid of.
