This book is an illustrated record of this awesome weapon of war in all its component parts - from the main battle tanks like the PzKpfw IV, Panther and Tiger, to the accompanying light tanks, armoured cars, half-tracks, assault guns, motorcycles and many more elements that made up a fully-fledged panzer division. The book includes a number of photographs of rare vehicles, or captured vehicles now in German service. Drawing on previously unpublished photographs, many of which have come from the albums of individuals who experienced and took part in the war, this book presents a unique and visually stunning catalogue of the German panzer arm at war from 1939-45.
