With Brian McCallion

On the Eve of Pearl Harbor in November 1941, The United States War Department would issue a decree to create “Tank Destroyer” Battalions. The fall of Poland and the subsequent fall of Western Europe in the spring of 1940 reinforced the need for a dedicated Anti-Tank force among the ranks of the Army. These Units were trained in specialized Armored warfare tactics to combat the growing threat of the German Blitzkrieg.

It would be a little over a year later in the distant North African Mountain Passes and Valleys of Tunisia that the 601st, Nicknamed the “Black Y Boys”, would be the first to tackle the dreaded German Panzers…”

Brian McCallion is a filmmaker and had a tenure at a tank destroyer museum before moving to The Collings Foundation where he works at the Former Jacques Littlefield armor collection. https://www.collingsfoundation.org/
