The Panzers, Hitler's tank divisions, were the backbone of Germany's defence in the World War II, largely responsible for its early run of success. In this fast-paced, action-packed narrative their dramatic story - their evolution, their exploits, their eventual destruction - is brought vividly to life against a backdrop of war. Written in layman's terms, this clear and succinct overview covers all aspects of the Panzers, both human and technical. There is a special emphasis on the men who fought in and led the divisions: great generals like Guderian and Rommel; tank masters like Wittmann and Bake; inspired commanders like Balck and Bayerlein. With new information available since the opening of Cold War archives and benefiting from the most recent scholarship new light is shed on old controversies and misconceptions that leads to original conclusions on the achievements, failures and ultimate legacy of the Panzers.
