A detailed examination of a key World War II-era tank, featuring 70
photographs, fully annotated cutaway artworks, three- and four-view
profile artworks, and tables.
In the early years of World War II the German panzer divisions swept
aside all Allied opposition, but when they invaded the Soviet Union in
1941, they encountered the Soviet T-34, which could deflect any German
tank. Thus a new German tank was born: the Panther. Panther Tank
follows the Panther's development and production, describing not only
its technical details but also recalling its service at, among other
battles, Kursk and in Normandy, told in the soldiers' own words.
Specification tables provide manufacturing data, while comparative
tables allow readers to see instantly how the Panther matched its
rivals.
