Few weapons developed a more deadly reputation than the German '88'
in the role of anti-tank gun, its long reach and lethal hitting
power making it a significant problem for every type of British and
later American armour. Despite its individual potency, it was
almost always utilized as part of a comprehensive system of
defences that relied on a mix of weapons carefully deployed in
anticipation of the enemy's likely avenue and method of attack.
Used in this way, the 88 became a particularly deadly part of the
Afrika Korps' attempts to shatter British armoured power in the
Western Desert. Initially extremely successful over the course of
1941 and 1942 in Operations Battleaxe and Crusader, the Allies'
tactics and vehicles (such as the American-made M3 and the Crusader
III) eventually evolved to deal with the 88's awesome power. This
detailed new book tells the story of that evolution and provides an
in-depth treatment of this key weapon of World War II.
