The Germans transformed armoured warfare from a lumbering and ponderous
experiment in World War I into something that could decide the outcome of
conflicts. This technical and operational history is the definitive guide to the
legendary Panzerwaffe, from its very infancy to the days when it made Europe its
garden path at the height of Nazi German power. With rare and revealing combat
reports, along with photographs sourced from previously unseen private and
archival collections, it uncovers the technical and operational stories of the
formidable armoured beasts that formed the backbone of the German war
machine – tanks such as the Panzer I, II and 38(t).
