What is Panzers at War about?

'Klotzen, nicht Klecken' don't tickle with the fingers, hit with the fist. This was General Guderian's unofficial motto for his Panzer Division, the deadly instrument of Hitler's blitzkrieg technique in World War II.Teamwork, determination and the confident application of the mailed fist of concentrated panzers wreaked havoc amongst the allied tank forces first in Poland then in France. The panzer divisions went on to spearhead an attack on Russia that tore the guts out of the Red Army; and they were able, even in the final stages of the war, to give the mighty American armies a very severe shock during the Battle of the Bulge.Panzers At War shows what it was like to serve in a panzer division, in all theatres of the war in sun and snow, desert and steppe. The author, a former infantry officer, traces the development of German front-line armour from the under-gunned PzKpfe II to the fearsome Tiger, a tank that could take on a squadron of Shermans single-handed. Includes many illustrations, few of which have been published outside Germany.
