This WWII history chronicles the remarkable career of a brilliant British Army commander and the innovative armored vehicles he created. Joining the Royal Tank Corps in 1923, Major-General Percy Hobart quickly established himself as one of the foremost thinkers on armored warfare. By 1938 he was GOC Mobile Division, later 7th Armored Division, in Egypt. He was also known for not suffering fools—a tendency that got him briefly relieved of his command. But during World War II, Winston Churchill called Hobart back to Army service with orders to train the now-legendary 11th Armored Division. He was then tasked with designing specialist armored fighting vehicles capable of breeching the Atlantic Wall. Known as Hobart's Funnies, these unique vehicles included mine-clearing tanks, bridge-carrying tanks, flamethrowers, swimming tanks and amphibious assault vehicles. Operated by Hobart’s 79th Armored Division, they played a major part in the D-Day landings and the subsequent European campaigns. Hobart's skills played a significant part in the final Allied victory, and the specialized funnies he introduced to modern warfare have since been adopted by all armies all over the world. Drawing on official records and personal recollections, historian Richard Doherty tells the incredible story of Percy Hobart and his 79th Armored Division.

Audio Book Hobart's 79th Armoured Division at War: Invention, Innovation & Inspiration with Free EASY Reading!

The British 79th Armored Division was a unique formation in WWII. Composed almost entirely of speciallly built or highly customized armored vehicles intended to spearhead the invasion of Europe, Hobart's "funnies" were a peculiar collection of specialized vehicles, from amphibious tanks intended to swim ashore to flame-throwing "Crocodiles" intended to attack fortifications, they earned a special niche in history, both for their successes and the not-so-successful models.Hobart himself was as unique as the vehicles he inspired -- and at least as controversial. His passion and personality did his career no good at all, but he was the right man in the right place during the war.Although frequently mentioned as a footnote to WWII history, this book is by far the fullest discussion of the 79th, its vehicles and Hobart's career.If you're interested in WWII armor, you should read this book.
