Bookworld Publishing, 2017. New book, 33 pages. By the winter of 1945, the series of Soviet offensives which had been launched during the previous summer, had forced the German defenders back to the borders of East Prussia in the north and past Budapest in the south. Time and again the dwindling resources of the Panzerwaffe were called on to rescue an encircled German unit or to counterattack an enemy breakthrough. In this book, the third and last in the Panther series, Dennis Oliver and Stephen Andrew examine the Panther battalions of the Waffen-SS, the independent Panzer brigades, the Luftwaffe's Herman Goring Panzer regiment and the named tank units of the German Army. Complemented by 13 pages of painstakingly researched, exquisitely presented colour illustrations, black and white archive photos, detailed orders of battle, and organisational charts, this series provides a superb reference for the military enthusiast, modeller and general reader..

Nombre de pages (number of pages) : 272 Description : De 1939 à 1945, les divisions blindées de l'armée de terre allemande (Heer) ont constitué un formidable instrument de guerre. Plus de trente divisions blindées ont ainsi vu le jour. Dotées d'un encadrement de qualité, de matériels performants et utilisées selon des principes révolutionnaires, elles ont joué un rôle déterminant dans la série de victoires remportées en Pologne, en France, dans les Balkans, en Afrique du Nord et en Union Soviétique. Contraintes à la défensive à partir de l'été 1943, elles ont ensuite contribué à ralentir l'avance inexorable des troupes alliées vers le cœur du Reich. Pendant toute la guerre, et malgré leurs vicissitudes, elles ont suscité l'admiration et l'envie, donnant naissance à un véritable mythe, encore vivace de nos jours... Consacré aux troupes blindées (Panzertruppen) du Heer, et plus particulièrement aux divisions blindées (Panzerdivisionen), cet ouvrage contient également les biographies et les portraits des 266 officiers généraux ou supérieurs ayant commandé des armées, des corps d'armée et des divisions blindées pendant la période 1935-1945. C'est un aspect peu connu et pourtant primordial qui est présenté ici pour la première fois en langue française et anglaise. From 1939 to 1945, the armored divisions of the German Army (Heer) were a formidable war machine. Over thirty armored divisions came into being. With quality officering, high performance equipment utilized on revolutionary lines, they played a decisive role in the string of victories in Poland, France, the Balkans, north Africa and the Soviet Union. After being forced onto the defensive from the summer of 1943, they then helped to slow down the inexorable advance of the Allied troops into the heart of the Reich. Throughout the war, despite all their trials, they inspired admiration and envy, giving rise to a veritable myth that lives on to this day... Devoted to the panzer troops (Panzertruppen) and more especially to the panzer divisions (Panzerdivisionen), this book also contains biographies and portraits of the 266 general officers or higher who commanded tank armies, army corps and divisions during the period 1935-1945. This is an unfamiliar and yet crucially important aspect, presented here for the first time in French and English., Editions Heimdal, 2001, 3, Pen & Sword, 2020. New book, 64 pages. Combining the destructive firepower of the 75mm gun with the mobility of the Pzkpfw IV medium tank , the Jagdpanzer IV was quite possibly the most effective tank destroyer of the Second World War. From early 1944 these vehicles were allocated to the anti-tank battalions of Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions and saw action in Normandy, the Ardennes and the final battles in Germany . In his latest book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses contemporary photographs and meticulously researched, superbly presented colour and monochrome illustrations to tell the story of these self-propelled anti-tank guns and the units which operated them in the German defence of the Western Front. As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained giving the modeller all the information and knowledge required.. Soft Cover. As New.
