Short informative analysis of german armor in WWII.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
What make this book stand out from other German armor books is Flesischer's concise analysis of the technical and operational use of German armor on a variety of war fronts (Spain & Russia). The majority of books I have read on this subject boast about the superior design and acomplishments of German armor. Flesischer's analysis debunks this myth. I've found out that all German tank designs were inferior to Allies designs in armor protection and gun callibre. The Germans were playing catch up in design inovation and mass production of tanks. Only superior German tactics and training overcame these short commings until the very end. The book is 80% pictures with 3 to 4 pages of great consise analysis per chapters (7). The picture are great in detail and should be interest to modelers.
