German armoured forces were a key component of the Wehrmacht's
Blitzkrieg ('Lightning War') tactics that quickly conquered Poland,
the Low Countries and France in 1939 and 1940. Germany introduced a
new style of mechanised warfare that surprised the Allies and
allowed the German forces to overwhelm often numerically superior
forces in France and Russia. However, as the war progressed the
Allies learned how to counter the German tactics, and in the final
years of the war German armour was on the defensive. Large,
powerful tanks and self-propelled guns - such as the Tiger, King
Tiger and Jagdtiger - became key to the defence of the Reich as the
Allied armies closed on the Fatherland. Panzer provides a full
pictorial record of the German armoured forces, from the Blitzkrieg
years to the last stand in Berlin. The book features key figures,
such as panzer generals Hoth and Guderian, and also Panzer aces
Michael Wittmann and Joachim Peiper.
