Fictional story of the 761 tank battalion

I'm trying to find a book about this battalion.

I read it a few years ago and it had a number as it's title which may not have been 761.

It was a fictional story based on their action during WW2.

At least one character was based on the real "Top" Sargeant.

It was a paperback, dark gray/black cover with three numbers as the title.

It's a long shot but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

George

Hi and thanks Andy.

This isn't the book either.

The book I had was a paperback, dark cover with raised numbers as the title.

If I remember rightly, the story started with the Top Sargeant getting out of his jeep on the tank battle ground and asking for a volunteer to help him get the body parts out of a battle damaged tank.

Does that "click" with anyone?
