This is the home of the WWII 808 Tank Destroyers. The tank destroyers were created during WWI to destroy the Germans' new tanks. The 808th TD Batallion was under Gen. Patton's command and were considered "his own" TDs. Our site hopes to familiarize visitors not only with the 808th TD Batallion but also with the European Theater of operations and the era of tank destroyers.
The 808 TD Batallion saw action every day they were there. They are the only Tank Destroyer Batallion in Europe in WWII that saw action every single day they were deployed from arrival at the "battlegrounds" until VE day.

Pledge of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands: One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

TD Battalions were attached to other divisions and were
commanded by the Commanding General of the Ground Forces.
There purpose was to seek, strike and destroy.
