Unstoppable by Gareth Hector

  • DESCRIPTION
  • EDITIONS
  • SIGNERS
  • April 1945: At dawn, Shermans and a Pershing from E-Company (32nd Armored Regiment, 3rd Armored Division) spearhead the advance into Germany. Ahead lies enemy armor, anti-tank guns, and desperate soldiers defending their homeland. The odds are against Clarence Smoyer and his fellow American tankers. In armored combat, the defender often shoots first and for every Sherman damaged, the stats say that one of the American boys inside will be killed and another, wounded.

    Despite these harsh realities, the tankers of Easy Company charge forward, fueled by faith in one another and the angels on their shoulders—the P-47s. As the tankers pass a smoldering Tiger I from the nearby armor school at Paderborn, they know that the flyboys have brought them one mile closer to victory. From here to the end, this American team will prove unstoppable.
