Army of steel: tank warfare 1939-1945

After seeing the success of the British tanks in the First World War, the Germans decided that the future of warfare lay in the Panzerkampfwagen, the armoured fighting vehicle, later simple known as the Panzer.

This book looks at the development of the Panzer concept, and the building and the deployment of the Corps through the eyes of those who fought it.

It tells the story of how the Panzers formed the spearhead of the world's most efficient military machine, and how they were ultimately defeated.
