Dedicated German antitank vehicles made their first major appearance in
the Second World War as combatants developed effective armored vehicles
and tactics. Some were little more than stopgap solutions, mounting an
antitank gun on a tracked vehicle to give mobility, while others were
more sophisticated designs. The book covers the development and
technology throughout the war that led to tank destroyers like the
Panzerjger I, Sturmgeschtz, Marders, Nashorn. Hetzer, Jagdpanzer,
Elefant, Jagdtiger IV and Jagdpanther vehicles being developed.
As the war progressed the tank destroyers fire power became more lethal
to meet the ever increasing threat against Soviet armor. Larger and more
powerful variants entered the battlefield, but due the overwhelming
enemy opposition they were compelled not only to attack armor, but to
support ground troops too. This comprehensive account covers all the
Nazis mobile antitank vehicles in words and images.
