Duty Before Self: The Story of the 781st Tank Battalion in WWII by John Mitzel The uniformsIn January 1943, and as World War II entered its second year it was evident that U. S. tanks were outgunned, under armored, and underpowered. In short, they weren't cutting the mustard, but there was no time for a long development project.
