Starting from the Blitzkrieg period, when Nazi Germany unleashed its mobile armored divisions into Poland, France and the Low Countries, German Armored Warfare of World War II captures the full might of the Panzerwaffe, Hitler's Panzer arm, from its early triumphs to its final demise. Featuring previously unpublished photographes, many of which have come from the albums of individuals who experienced the war firsthand, the book presents a unique vivid record of German armor in action from 1939 - 1945. The photographs detail in turn the different elements that went into making up a fully fleged Panzer division: light tanks, main battle tanks, artillery, assault guns and anti tank destroyers, reconnaisance units, support vehicles, and of course the Panzergrenadiers, in depth descriptive captions accompanying the photographs also provide much historical information and facts about the events portrayed. Depicting action from the fields of France to the Russian steppes and rugged Italian terrain, German Armored Warfare of world war II is a captivating glimpse of one of the most effective weapons of war ever to have appeared on the battlefield.Ian Baxter is the author of 'GERMAN ARMORED WARFARE: The Unpublished Photographs 1939 - 1945', published 2003 under ISBN 9781932033151 and ISBN 1932033157.
