The history of German tanks in World War II is considered largely fully documented today; far less known, however, are the numerous concepts, flawed designs, and patent studies behind their development. This volume focuses on Wehrmacht tank designs, covering over 100 vehicles that were either built only as prototypes, produced in limited numbers, or never made it past the drawing board. Drawing on rarely seen patent documents, company records, and correspondence between government ministries and manufacturers, the book serves as a comprehensive reference work on both well-known prototypes and nearly forgotten developments.
