Description

Tank Warfare, 1939-1945 by Simon Forty and Jonathan Forty is a comprehensive history of armored warfare during the Second World War. The book features over 200 photographs and excerpts from tactical assessments, providing a detailed account of the development and deployment of tanks on the battlefields of Europe and North Africa. The authors examine the fundamental principles of pre-war tank design and compare the theories of the 1930s, before describing how the harsh experience of the German blitzkrieg campaigns led to significant changes in equipment, organization, and tactics. The book also showcases the rapid progress made in tank design and tactics, with over 180 archive photographs that capture the conditions of war on each battle front. These photographs, along with the authors' analysis, provide a vivid impression of what armored warfare was like for tank crews 75 years ago, and offer a unique insight into the development of tank warfare during this period.
