The Panzerwaffe by Ian Baxter
The Panzerwaffe: Vehicles, Equipment, Weapons, Uniforms and Insignia is a highly illustrated chronicle of Nazi Germany’s Panzerwaffe (Armoured Force) during the Second World War. Spanning the Blitzkrieg in Poland in 1939 to the desperate final days of the war in 1945, this comprehensive volume explores the evolution of the Panzerwaffe and its supporting units, which includes: the organization of a Panzer Division, lists of light, medium and heavy panzers including the Sturmgeschütz assault gun, self-propelled tank destroyers (Jagdpanzer), self-propelled anti-aircraft guns (Flakpanzer) and halftracks. Featuring over 200 rare and previously unpublished photographs, as well as forty meticulously drawn colour profiles, photographs and artworks, the book also covers the uniforms of armoured panzer and assault gun crew, vehicle camouflage schemes, the use and application of Zimmerit anti-magnetic mine paste and divisional insignia. With insightful text and extensive captions, this book offers a detailed look at how the Panzerwaffe adapted its tactics and technology in response to the shifting course of the war, often converting tanks into fast-moving self-propelled artillery and flak carrying vehicles. These were gradually supported by formidable heavy vehicles such as the Panther and Tiger. From the brutal fighting on the Eastern Front at Kursk to its role in defending the beaches against Allied D-Day landings in the West, The Panzerwaffe explains the key components of this effective killing machine and is an essential visual reference for military historians, modellers and enthusiasts alike.-
