A Visual History of the German Army's World War II Light Tank
David Doyle
Obwohl nur schwach gepanzert mit einer 2 cm Kanone leicht
bewaffnet, war der Panzer II ein wichtiges Element des Blitzkrieges
und blieb auch noch in Produktion, als schon deutlich
kampfkräftigere SdKfz vom Band liefen. In diesem Band finden sich
zahlreiche Aufnahmen verschiedenster Baumuster und seltener
Varianten.
The Panzer II was Germany’s first cannon-armed tank in the post
World War I era. Designed and initially produced under the code
name of 100-horsepower Farm Tractor, owing to the restrictions of
the Treaty of Versailles, the Panzer II remained in production, and
in the field, well after it had been surpassed by better
engineered, more heavily armed and armored vehicles, and indeed
played a key part in the early victories achieved by the
Blitzkrieg.
