During the summer of 1944 a series of massive Soviet offensives
threatened to destroy the entire German army on the Eastern Front.
As the Wehrmacht scrambled to hold what ground it could many
formations simply disappeared and the available armoured units were
used to plug the gaps in the frontline. One of the most important
elements of the defence was the newly raised IV.SS-Panzerkorps
which contained the veteran Totenkopf and Wiking divisions.
Although both were well equipped their real striking power lay in
the battalion of Pzkpfw V Panther tanks with which each was
outfitted, perhaps the most effective armoured fighting vehicle
produced by Germany during the Second World War. In Dennis Oliver's
latest volume in the TankCraft series he uses archive photos and
extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the Panther
battalions of these famous units that fought to hold back the
Soviet advance during the last months of 1944\. A key section of
his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products,
complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted
models in various scales. Technical details as well as
modifications introduced during production and in the field are
also examined providing everything the modeller needs to recreate
an accurate representation of these historic tanks.
