À propos de cet audio

A gripping account of the Second World War, from the perspective of a young tank commander.

In 1944, David Render was a nineteen-year-old second lieutenant fresh from Sandhurst when he was sent to France. Joining the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry five days after the D-Day landings, the combat-hardened men he was sent to command did not expect him to last long. However, in the following weeks of ferocious fighting in which more than 90 per cent of his fellow tank commanders became casualties, his ability to emerge unscathed from countless combat engagements earned him the nickname of the 'Inevitable Mr Render'.

In Tank Action Render tells his remarkable story, spanning every major episode of the last year of the Second World War from the invasion of Normandy to the fall of Germany. Ultimately it is a story of survival, comradeship and the ability to stand up and be counted as a leader in combat.

Sobering

Captain Render gives us a very honest account of the terrors of armoured combat and the price that was paid by a generation of heroes we will never see again. superb detail on tactical combat that is woven into the big picture to allow the listener to understand the strategic situation. Understated and modest but as brave as lion; Captain Render is an inspiration to us all.

Brilliant

First tank memoir I’ve read. It was a great listen. Really puts into perspective how young these guys were in these positions of enormous responsibility-with little training. Would recommend!

Well worth the listen
