My friends over at @18airbornecorps have been doing a great job sharing stories and history of the Battle of the Bulge. But I promised months ago that I would do a thread on the story of when Tanks saved the Jumpy Bois so...
This guy here is Albin Irzyk, who commanded the 8th Tank Battalion of 4th Armored Division at the time. Irzyk would lead the Third Army elements sent to relieve Bastogne and provide “motivation” for the Germans to back TF up. Image
Irzyk commissioned into the Cavalry in 1940, which used to be its own Branch but we’ll talk about that in a few weeks 🙂

He was from Massachusetts, like yours truly.

Wanna hear a bit about these guys? Good! Because you're gonna 😂
There’s a lot to this history, and we’re actually going to cover it quite a bit in a few weeks so let’s just focus on the 10th Armored Division for a minute because this is an important part of history that’s relevant to the Battle of the Bulge.
The 10th Armored Division was formed as part of our rapidly growing Armored Force during WWII. They were activated on 15 July 1942 at @FortBenning and placed under the command of Major General Paul Newgarden.

I’m really glad they did this thread. Intelligence is a tricky area, it’s basically a bunch of “best guesses”, hopefully by those trained to assess it – if intel is assessed accurately, received by those who can act on it, and acted upon, it’s possible that events are prevented.
If nothing happens, how do we know the intel worked?
Often times we don’t. So it can be a thankless job 😂

I came across a story that’s pretty interesting and thought I’d share it, even though it’s not exactly for #TankTwitter – but there is a tank. We can call it #SundayStorytime 🙂

Let’s start with a little background info though…
With the Great Depression kicking off in 1929, big manufacturers had to do something to stay in business. For some that meant cutting production costs.
Clarence Taylor, an engineer, designed a lightweight aircraft composed of wood, fitting this “lower cost” model and the prototype had its test flight in September 1930. He called it the “Taylor Cub.”

For those just tuning in, @18airbornecorps posted a thread this morning on “Those Damned Engineers” and challenged me to a friendly competition. I was to make a complementary thread on those engineers in question and whichever thread is more popular wins. So don’t let me down!
I normally try to keep my threads relatively light in context and make them entertaining so the information is accessible to everyone, not just those interested in history or tanks or whatever. But someone (🙄👉@102ndblackhawk6) volunteered me for extra work so… here we are.
A thread on engineers 💥

How about a Tanks-giving Day thread? I was thinking about the things I am most thankful for and trying to incorporate that into something meaningful that I could share because, let's face it, changing Thanksgiving to Tanks-giving is kind of too perfect not to use it. #TankTwitter
This year what I'm most thankful for are people, so I thought I'd start with a little bit on tank crews and then come back to that.
Before WWII, tank crew sizes and composition varied a lot, with the most being about 18 people and the fewest being 2. (None of these pictures are pre-WWII lol)
