72 pages, 160 b/w photos, and 16 color profiles. Yet another hot seller from Concord Publications, very popular " Armor at War" series. This book covers the German Panzer troops throughout the course of WWII. The success of the Panzers was without doubt contributed by the tankers and supporting troops. The Panzer Corps spearheaded the German invasions in the West and East during the blitzkrieg era, then fought the overwhelming Allied armor counter-attacks, and finally forced to defend its own country despite depleted numbers and lack of air covers. Manned by skillful tankers, led by talented officers, and commanded by experienced generals, the Panzer forces dominated the battlefields despite numerical odds in most occasions. The author,Robert Michulec, again traveled all over Eastern Europe and collected many unpublished photos to put together this book. This book emphasized on both men and machines of the Panzer forces. Most photos featured the officers and crews at work, either during combat or during maintenance. There are good many photos identifying the officers and commanders that have been awarded with the Iron Cross. The talented Arkadiusz Wrobel provided the book with 16 high quality accurate color profiles for those interested in camouflage and markings.
