The crossing of the river Rhine marked the beginning of the end of
the Third Reich, but the Wehrmacht would fight ferociously on its
home soil until the fall of Berlin. The Battle of Germany saw the
most advanced tanks of the Allies pitted against the remnants of
the once-formidable Panzerwaffe, now exhausted and lacking many of
the essentials of armored warfare, but equipped with the biggest
and most powerful tanks they would ever field. In these last months
the Allies were now equipped with the most advanced Shermans such
as the M4A3E8, as well as some of the types that would go on to
have successful postwar careers such as the Pershing, Comet, and
Chaffee. In contrast the Panzer forces had pinned their hopes on
small numbers of monstrous types such as the Jagdtiger and Tiger
II, as well as the workhorse Sturmgeschutz and Panzer IVs and Vs.
But with German forces crumbling, the Panzerwaffe lacked trained
crews, replacement vehicles and fuel, while the Allies'
well-supported tank forces advanced through Germany in spectacular
combined-arms fashion. Packed with information on tank numbers,
types, and comparative performance, this book sheds new light on
the two sides' tanks, organization, and doctrine, and explains how
the ultimate tank battles of World War II were really fought.
