5.0 out of 5 stars THE source about the mighty german Panther, 26 Sep 2000

By A Customer

I was truly in awe when I first flipped through the pages of this book. Mr. Jentz's book on the german WWII Panter tank must contain answers to every question I ever had about the tank. Included are technical details and history of every version deployed on the fronts, as well as concepts that were in design at war's end. Brief combat experiences told by allied soldiers that had confronted Panther's on the western front bring also a nice feel what it was to stare at the barrel of this metal monster.

The book contains a huge amount of photos from both inside and outside the tank. One can take a virtual tour of the Tank's turret, engine compartment and hull by skimming through the pages. Closeup images of rarer equipment, like infra-red searchlight systems highlight the book. The only downside I can imagine is that the book takes a very technical approach. If you are looking for a history combat experience, you might be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Germany's Panther Tank, 21 Dec 2005

By	Surplus661 "ianfoulkes" (England) - See all my reviews

Again, in one volume Mr Jentz has managed to expand our knowledge of WW2 German Tank design, by drawing only from German Archival sources. Designed as a response to the Russian T-34 the Panther featured a hard hitting gun, thick armour laid back at angles to increase its effectivenes. As such, the Panther became the best medium tank of WW2. Even so the tank had its share of problems, all of which are revealed along with the developments to improve it. Some of the images are well known, but most are refreshingly new. Mr Jentz even covers the controversy over the 88mm Schmallturm and its development. Thoroughly recommended.
