Default Battle of Arracourt
As far as I know that was the biggest tank battle in 1944. It happenned in Lorraine, France. I tried to find some detailed information, but all I got was some paragraphs from Osprey's books and not much from Internet. Does anyone have some specific information on thi battle. I'm interested in used tactics, divisions, commanders names etc. Thanks!

Patton's Vanguard which is in Google Books gives a good account of the battle. You can't read the section in full, but it's the best I have seen.

Thanks! I only had Osprey's "Lorraine 1944 Patton vs Manteuffel" book, but I think I'll just buy the one you've recommended!
