Product Description
Product Description
Illustrated with detailed artworks of German tanks and their markings and with exhaustive captions and specifications, this book is the definitive study of the equipment and organization of the Wehrmacht's 28 full-strength armoured divisions. Organised chronologically by division and formation date, the book offers a complete guide to the Panzerwaffe, from the establishment of the 1st Panzer Division in 1935, to the hasty formation of the 130th Panzer (Lehr) Division in early 1944. The book describes in depth the various models of tank in German service during the war with each individual armoured division, with listings of the unit commanders and any famous tank aces. Each divisional section is further broken down by campaign, accompanied by orders of battle, a brief divisional history of the campaign and any specific unit markings. With information boxes accompanying the full-colour artworks, all drawn to the same scale for easy comparison, this book is an essential reference guide for modellers and enthusiasts with an interest in the armoured divisions of the Wehrmacht.

Simply put this book does it for £20 or less what some of the others like Schiffier and Federwoicz claim to do for £80 or more. It is packed...with colour profiles and great breakdown of units from 1939 Poland campaign through to 1945...a good simple guide which you will use

Excellent reveiw of the German Divisions 1939-45: Contains brief but informative histories of each. The types of armored vehicles used by the division are pictured. All the insignias used on these vehicles by each division are illustrated in great detail.
