Excerpt from Tanks Are Mighty Fine Things

Private Upton went on to explain: I love tanks and everybody connected with them. When I was hit on Tinian we were on patrol and the N ips had pinned us down in a field of sugar cane. They were in caves in the cliffs and while we could see exactly nothing of them, they were really giving us the business. A machine gun slug went through my hip early and I had visions of being in the field until dark, when one of those Chrysler jobs rolled up. The driver told me what he was going to do and after I had crawled out on harder ground, he drove the tank over me and pulled me through the escape hatch in the belly of the tank. Those treads looked plenty big as they straddled me, but we drove back to the lines slick as a whistle.
