From the Panzerkampfwagen.I to the Jagdtiger, the most powerful tank of the Second World War, it depicts how these formidable machines were adapted and up-gunned to face the ever-increasing enemy threat." "Using over 250 rare and unpublished photographs together with detailed captions and accompanying text, Hitler's Panzers provides an insight into the many variants of light tanks, main battle tanks, self-propelled assault guns and tank destroyers. It provides a vivid account of the Panzer development and deployment from the early Blitzkrieg campaigns to the final demise of the Nazi empire."--BOOK JACKET.
