Wehrmacht tank forces. Structure, organization, tactics
9.99 €
The Wehrmacht's tank forces were considered the most powerful component of the Third Reich's ground forces and a symbol of the Blitzkrieg. But how exactly did they operate? How did they achieve their success?
There are numerous works devoted to the Panzerwaffe's equipment. The workhorses Pz-III and Pz-IV, the fearsome "cats" Panthers and Tigers, and a variety of self-propelled guns, from the StuG III to the Ferdinand. All these vehicles have been described in detail in encyclopedias and specialized publications. The major operations of World War II, in which German mobile units played a key role, have been thoroughly studied. However, the organization and tactics of the Wehrmacht's tank forces have long remained largely obscured. This book, based on archival documents, reports, and the memoirs of direct participants in the events, fills this gap.
It wasn't additional millimeters of armor or the individual skill of individual "tank aces" but rather tactical innovations that made the Panzerwaffe such a dangerous adversary. Many organizational solutions pioneered by the Wehrmacht's tank forces remain relevant in modern armies. Here's the inner workings of Nazi Germany's most formidable weapon.
