Furious. The 645th Tank Destroyer Battalion. The TD SSI.
The Tank Destroyer shoulder sleeve insignia — a black panther crushing a tank — was one of the most feared symbols on the WWII battlefield. The 645th Tank Destroyer Battalion, code name Furious, wore it with distinction. Deploying from Newport News in April 1943, they fought through North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and into Europe as part of the 45th Infantry Division, 5th Army — relentless, aggressive, and always forward.
This 15oz black ceramic mug features the 645th with the Tank Destroyer SSI — a bold tribute to the men who hunted armor across two continents.
