Description
The German Panther is one of the most famous tanks of World War II. Its design embodied a balance of firepower, armor protection, and mobility that was unmatched by other tanks of its time. This study by Thomas Anderson draws upon original German archival material to tell the story of the Panther's development in response to Soviet tanks encountered in 1941. The book analyzes the Panther's success on the battlefield and the many modifications and variants that were made. Illustrated with rare photographs and drawings, many previously unpublished in English, this unique history sheds new light on one of the most iconic tanks of World War II. Rare archival material and detailed analysis make this a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history or the development of tank design.
