German tanks of World War II

More about the book

When the Panzers rolled victoriously through country after country, their speed of movement and adept handling gave them a reputation for invincibility. After encountering Russia's superior tanks, however, the Germans devoted their energies towards developing better-armed and armored vehicles to counter them. A leading authority on tanks and land warfare has gathered a magnificent and unprecedented collection of photographs of this machinery in all the war theaters. Expert commentary on the tanks' details, personal accounts of individual engagements, information on organization and training, and an emphasis on action make this a lively and informative military study.
