Description
The self-propelled assault gun, or Sturmgeschütz, was one of the most famous and successful anti-tank weapons of World War II. The combat score of the entire German Sturmartillerie is unequivocally positive. It led the attack, followed by infantry, both during the campaign in France and on the Eastern Front, where it claimed an incredible more than 20,000 Russian tanks of all types. This latest book by renowned weapons expert Thomas Anderson provides a detailed description of this significant component of the Wehrmacht, examining its development from the very beginning and analyzing its deployment. The author has once again chosen the proven method of alternating passages dedicated to technical descriptions with accounts from direct participants in the battles about their own experiences, which he gathered through research, particularly in German archives. To enhance credibility and illustration, he uses a large number of previously unpublished period photographs, making this a true treat for those interested in the combat technology of World War II!
