Combining the destructive firepower of the 75mm gun with the mobility of
the Pzkpfw IV medium tank, the Jagdpanzer IV was quite possibly the most
effective tank destroyer of the Second World War. From early 1944 these
vehicles were allocated to the anti-tank battalions of Panzer and
Panzergrenadier divisions and saw action in Normandy, the Ardennes and
the final battles in Germany.
In his latest book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses
contemporary photographs and meticulously researched, superbly presented
color and monochrome illustrations to tell the story of these
self-propelled anti-tank guns and the units which operated them in the
German defense of the Western Front. As with all the books in the
TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model
kits and after-market products, complemented by a gallery of expertly
constructed and painted models. Technical details as well as
modifications introduced during production and in the field are also
explained giving the modeler all the information and knowledge required.
