Hero of the Soviet Union Dmitry Fedorovich Loza, as part of the 46th Guards Tank Brigade of the 9th Guards Tank Corps, walked thousands of kilometers along the roads of war. Having started to fight in the summer of 1943 near Smolensk on Matilda tanks, in the fall he switched to a Sherman tank and reached Vienna on it. Four of the tanks in which he fought burned out and two were seriously damaged, but he survived and participated with his corps in the war against Japan, where he passed through the sands of the Gobi, the Khingan mountains and the plains of Manchuria.

In In this book, the reader will find talented descriptions of combat episodes, the life of “foreign-made” tank crews, the advantages and disadvantages of American tanks, and much more.
