A World War II pictorial history of Nazi Germany’s armored fighting
vehicles and exploration of their inner workings. Using previously
unpublished photographs, many of which have come from the albums of
individuals who took part in the war, Hitler’s Panzers presents a
unique visual account of Germany at arms. The book analyzes the
development of the Panzer and shows how it became Hitler’s supreme
weapon. It describes how the Germans carefully built up their assault
forces utilizing all available reserves and resources and making them
into effective killing machines. From the Panzerkampfwagen.1 to the
most powerful tank of the Second World War, the Jagdtiger, the volume
depicts how these machines were adapted and up-gunned to face the
ever-increasing enemy threat. Hitler’s Panzers is a unique look into
the full workings of the various light tanks, main battle tanks,
self-propelled assault guns, and tank destroyers. It is a vivid, fully
illustrated account of the development and deployment of the German
tank, and brings together a captivating glimpse at the cutting edge of
World War Two military technology.
