Panzerartillerie - Firepower for the Panzer Divisions
Thomas Anderson
The German Panzerartillerie was one of the key components of the
Panzer divisions that were the spearhead of the German forces in
the years when they overran most of Western Europe and reached as
far as the gates of Moscow in the East. Warfare in the age of
Blitzkrieg required fast-moving, mobile artillery that could
support forward units at the front line, and the Panzerartillerie
provided that for the Wehrmacht. The Allies had no answer or
equivalent to them until the US entry into the war.
Drawing on original material from German archives and private
collections, including some images that have never been published
before, German armour expert Thomas Anderson explores the formation
and development of this force from its early days in the 1930s,
through the glory days of Blitzkrieg warfare to its eventual
decline in the face of the challenges of the Eastern Front.
