January 31, 1968. A cold, dense
fog had settled over the city of Hue, South Vietnam. Nothing
could be seen or heard until the blinding flash and shocking
concussion of an exploding rocket tore through the fog. A
hail of rockets and mortar shells was followed by a
sustained ground attack. It was soon obvious to the Army,
Navy, Marine and Air Force personnel inside the compound
that a large group of people outside the compound wanted to
kill them. The Tet offensive on Hue was on. The intense
fighting lasted for a month and the NLF massacred thousands
of residents of the city.

The close-range engagement of tanks
became extremely important, mainly because of the Soviet
T-34 and KV-I tanks were for a long time, superior to all
German tanks and anti-tank guns. Frequently employed in
small groups of three to five tanks to support the infantry,
these Russian tanks could often be put out of action with
close-range weapons. This book provides a concise account of
Tank Destruction Badge, and the close-range combating of
tanks. In addition to a description of the special badge and
the most commonly used weapons, it includes operational
accounts by recipients of the badge.
