Honed in the years of Blitzkrieg, by the middle of World War II the German armoured force was at the height of its power. However, the years that followed were ones of struggle for the Panzerwaffe. After the great armoured advances of 1942, it was pushed back across multiple fronts and desperately sought to regain the strategic initiative. From the legendary armoured clashes at Kursk and the bitter battles in Normandy to the final days in Berlin, this is the definitive guide to the Panzerwaffe in the second half of World War II. With rare and revealing combat reports, and illustrated throughout with photographs sourced from previously unseen private and archival collections, it uncovers the technical and operational stories of this formidable part of the German war machine.
