George S. Patton memo

Thanks for the great link.

Two things really jumped out at me. One, that in a tank v tank engagement, american tanks should fire one AP round. If that does not destroy the target, then fire willy pete to cover a potential flanking move. You have to love GSP, ever the champion of manuever, even at the lowest tactical level.

The other thing was that bazookas are not to be used as offensive weapons, with teams out hunting armor. Rather, they are last ditch defensive weapons to protect infantry from armored overrun, and shouldn't be used at more than 30 yards range.

A very interesting set of orders.
