Home

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 Battalion was under Gen. Patton's command and were considered "his own" Tank Destroyers. Our site hopes to familiarize visitors not only with the 808th TD Battalion but also with the European Theater of operations and the era of tank destroyers. We also have a large area devoted to the 808 tank destroyer vets since the end of WWII.
