Panzer Leader by Heinz Guderian
An account of the development and campaigns of the panzer forces that, along with the Luftwaffe, stood at the heart of blitzkrieg, by the man who created, trained and led them. It is also a group portrait of the Third Reich's leading personalities as they turned early victory into defeat.
Born in 1888, Heinz Guderian served in World War One, came to Hitler¿s attention in 1935, was made corps commander of Panzer troops and promoted to General in 1938. His tanks were greatly successful in the invasions of Poland and France and, perceived as pro-Nazi, Guderian was much in favour. However, when the Russian invasion failed in the winter of 1941, Guderian was forced to resign, not to regain his position until 1944, when the war was all but lost. He died in Bavaria in 1954.
