"Difficult to believe that 7th Armoured were not conceived for mobile warfare on open terrain"

[edit]

So not to further distract on the talkpage, I thought I would post here. I can see why you reached this position, owing to poor wording on my behalf. My comment should have read as thus:

"In regards to the Dan van der Vat source, I cannot really comment as I do not own her work. However, I do believe that Buckley (British Armour in Normandy) essentially makes the same point. I would have to dig through his work, but I do recall him concluding that the British armor were deployed in a situation that they were not conceived for (being used as battering rams against prepared German positions compared to mobile warfare on open terrain)." (emphasis added to indicate the change)

One notes that Wdford followed up with the exact quote from Buckley: "[The armoured divisions] were not constructed to act as battering rams to lead a penetration...".

I apologize for the confusion. Kind regards, EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 15:40, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
