Description

Drawing on years of research and covering all of the German Army's panzer divisions from their creation through their destruction or surrender, Samuel Mitcham chronicles the combat histories of the tank units that formed the backbone of the Nazi war machine. He also details the careers of the divisions' commanders, men like Erwin Rommel and Heinz Guderian who revolutionized modern warfare. In-depth and comprehensive, this is an essential resource on German armor in World War II.
