On April 23, 1945, Will Lang Jr. wrote a biography called “Colonel Abe” for Life.

Abrams was known as an aggressive and successful armor commander. General George Patton said of him: “I’m supposed to be the best tank commander in the Army, but I have one peer — Abe Abrams. He’s the world champion.”[3] Frequently the spearhead of the Third Army during World War II, Abrams was one of the leaders in the relief effort that broke up the German entrenchments surrounding Bastogne and the 101st Airborne Division during the Battle of the Bulge. In April, 1945 he was promoted to (temporary (brevet)) colonel but reverted to lieutenant colonel during World War II demobilization.

The Abrams tank is a fitting tribute to a great armor leader. The Abrams provides the best main battle tank in the world to today's tankers, in contrast to the sub-par Sherman Abe worked with.

Thanks for the post!
