Panzer. The Armoured Force of the Third Reich

Descripción

This book presents a fresh interpretation of a controversial and fascinating subject. It is a comprehensive account of the reasons for the failure of the Third Reich's armoured force which, in the early years of the war, had won such remarkable victories in Poland, Flanders, France and the Soviet Union, humbing the world's most highly rated armies. Panzer illustrates how the theories of armoured warfare were applied in battle by taking four military operations as detailed examples. Also described are the ever-changing organisation of the panzer divisions before and during the war; the development of armoured vehicles and their influence on the field of battle; and the personalities of the leaders and their men. The many photographs from private and offical sources trace the history of German armoured fighting vehices from the Mark 1, armed only with machine guns, to the giant Tiger with its 88mm gun. Illustrated. D/J sunned spined. Price clipped.
