Please identify the unit. That might help. First, I have to assume you refer to US Army. Your reference to "anti-tank driver" could mean he served with either a Tank Destroyer Battalion or maybe Tank Battalion. Maybe you refer to an Anti-Tank Company which was a light field gun used to knock out tanks and was part of every infantry division.I will assume you mean a US Tank Destroyer Battalion.Generally, the history books seldom mention the Tank Destroyer Battalions. You can start by identifying the theater that the unit served in. Then find the volume of the US Army History series that covers that campaign and check the index. These volumes can be found in many libraries.Next, try to find out if it was attached to any other unit. Usually the T-D Battalions were independent but attached to an army, corps or an armored or infantry division. If you find one, then locate the unit history for that armored or infantry division and see if it mentions the T-D Battalion. If you follow the history of the parent unit then you will learn something about the T-D unit. Some books will mention these "support units" but some are reluctant to give them credit.Lastly, there are some websites for Tank Destroyer Battalions. Search for those. Contact the webmaster and ask for help. Usually they know of other T-D units and can direct you to a good source.Tank Destroyer Battalions that served in Italy:679, 757, 776, 791, 804, 805, 894Tank Battalions that served in Italy:751, 752, 756, 758(Light), 760Website for 752 Tank Battalion:http://www.752ndtank.com/index.HTMLHope that helped.Custermen

632 Tank Destroyer Battalion I would think: Probably using the A10 tank destroyer, a self propelled gun which the British called Achilles. 632 t/d was attached to the 24th infantry division during ww2, did a lot of fighting on Leyte island. would have been equipped with m10 or m37 s/p guns
the 808th tank destroyer battalion was in WW2. tanks were just coming around at the end of WW1 so there was no such thing as a tank destroyer battalion. also, my grandfather was in the 808th TDB.

In WWII there were two types of tanks one was a tank destroyer and the other was for cover. The tank destroyer was for Yes killing tanks
