Description:
Panzer Battles provides an unparalleled look at the conception and use of German armor in World War II. Maj. Gen. Von Mellenthin was a member of the German General Staff and was present at most of the major armed clashes -- in the desert, in Russia, and in the final defense of Germany. Combining dynamic military maps, detailed first-hand narrative and astute strategic and tactical analysis, this campaign-by-campaign and battle-by-battle account is a classic study of one of the most important aspects of 20th-century warfare. - Publisher.
