Description
Firefly Collection No 10; Oliver, Andrew. In the battles to hold the Eastern Front, the Panther tank was perhaps the most important weapon in the Wehrmacht’s arsenal. Desperately switched from one crisis-point to the next, the Panther battalions of the Heer, Waffen-SS and the Luftwaffe were able to blunt the Red Army’s spearheads time and again and in 1944 the Panther’s body was used to create the best known tank destroyer of the war, the Jagdpanther. This book examine’s the famous tanks and their crews. Unit histories of the Army’s Panther battalions from Panzer-Regiment 1 to Panzer-Regiment 25; 13 pages of full color artwork; detailed tables of organisation and explanation of the KstN system; black and white archive photographs and campaign maps.
