German Panzers in World War II  Order Of Battle

 

At the forefront of the German Blitzkrieg of World War II was the Panzerwaffe, the tank arm that initially swept all before it. German Panzers in World War II is a highly-focused, closely-detailed look at how the Panzerwaffe worked, and how German armored warfare evolved from 1939 until defeat in 1945.

The book examines the organization and strength of the German tank forces that took part in each major German campaign launched during the war, from the first thrust into Poland to the last ditch gamble of the Bulge offensive. For each campaign, it describes the panzer forces used, giving strengths and orders of battle for the formations, along with maps of the action and an examination of the panzer forces participation.

Illustrated with photographs of the panzers in action and detailed campaign maps, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in armored warfare--particularly its changing role in the German armed forces as the tide of World War II turned against them.

Divided by Campaign, the book includes colourful tree diagrams illustrating the full order of battle of every German army, from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the fall of the Third Reich in 1945
Includes more than 40 full-colour maps illustrating the main armoured campaigns and actions of the war, such as the invasion of France in May 1940 and the battle of Kursk in July 1943. Offers a detailed, authoritative guide to the organization of Germany's armoured divisions in WWII.
