Description
This book focuses on the structure and organization of the most famous unit of World War II – the tank division (Panzerwaffe). A German tank division consisted of about thirteen thousand men and represented a self-sufficient combat force capable of penetrating enemy defensive lines, clearing the occupied area of all remaining enemies, and creating a new front. This book delves into the fascinating history of these divisions from pre-war development to their gradual deployment throughout the war. The book also addresses all specialized units that were part of tank divisions. With rare, previously unpublished photographs and a wealth of original documents, this book is a unique source of information about the structure, organization, and development of the most feared forces of Nazi Germany.
