FM 17-33 Tank Units Platoon, Company and Battalion

FM 17-33 Department of the Army Field Manual.  175 Pages, all about tank platoons, companies and battalions.  From 1957 so it’s the tactics used at the onset of the Vietnam war.  Really the book was out the window in the jungles of Vietnam.  This is a true cold-war ear manual, really instruction on a European battlefield.  Great illustrations, pictures, diagrams.  All together in good condition with the exception of some oily blob on the cover.  It’s soaked through a few pages, but no pages are stuck together, and the book doesn’t smell nasty.  All the pages readable from cover to cover.  It’s got really interesting insight on tank warfare in general, all the lessons learned in WWII.
