Ferdinand Porsche is renowned for his automotive designs, including the iconic Volkswagen Beetle and Auto Union Grand Prix cars. However, there is another side to his extraordinary career that is equally fascinating - his work as an inventor of military vehicles and machinery. Karl Ludvigsen's study provides a comprehensive account of Porsche's contributions to military ordnance, revealing the design and production of advanced vehicles such as the Kübelwagen, Schwimmwagen, Type 100 Leopard tank, Ferdinand tank destroyer, and the colossal Type 205 'Maus' tank. This book offers a compelling insight into the versatility and innovation of one of the twentieth century's greatest automotive engineers. Crammed with information, original photographs, illustrations, and drawings, this book is an essential addition to any military vehicle enthusiast's reference library.
