The history of the Panzerwaffe begins in 1916, when the Germans realised the potential impact of tanks on the art of war. Lacking tanks due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, they thoroughly studied the tactical lessons of the previous conflict in order to develop a revolutionary operational doctrine and an armoured weapon that could implement it. This book analyses the development of German thinking for mechanised warfare and explains the methods used.
A useful work to understand the origins and fighting methods of the German Panzerwaffe. Illustrated with over 250 photographs and tactical drawings, the book immerses you successively in the offices of military planners, in the mechanical guts of tanks and in the midst of the war game.
