Münstermann, Jill Marc Leopard 2 und Leopard 1 im Einsatz

Many believe that the German battle tanks "Leopard" 1 and 2 are purely peacetime models that have never seen combat. Far from it. In fact, both types of main battle tanks have been and are still being deployed around the globe in war and crisis regions: German "Leopard" 2s took part in the invasion of Kosovo; Turkish military forces relied on "Leopard" 1s and 2s in the attempted coup against Erdogan; Anadian and Danish "Leopards" contested countless combat missions in Afghanistan; in Bosnia, Danish "Leopard" 1s fought against Bosnian Serb troops; the Turkish army deployed "Leopard" 2s in Syria against IS and Kurdish militias.

The spectrum of "Leopard" missions is as diverse as it is rich in anecdotes. Detailed battle reports tell of moments of triumph as well as of great suffering.
All this and much more is illuminated in this book, which should not be missing from any collection of interested tank enthusiasts and historians. This massively expanded new edition tells the story of many more engagements and battles for the first time. Learn what happened when a Canadian "Leopard" crew "sank" in the Arghandab River. Read why Syrian rebels may now have "Leopard" 2s at their disposal.
