From the Paper:

"Tank warfare became so crucial during World War II, that armies began putting most of their time and effort into designing news ones, and figuring out different ways of employing. They evolved from being just a means of advancement and protection, to having a variety of different jobs. They served for reconnaissance, and they served as mobile invasion forces, and they even served as anti-aircraft weapons. Tanks were the premier weapon of the European theater. It could be argued that they were eventually responsible for the outcome in Germany. Every ground success and defeat could directly be related to the performance of the tanks."
