The History of the Panzerjäger Volume 1: Origins and Evolution
1939–42
Thomas Anderson
The German Panzerjäger, or Panzerjägertruppe, was one of the most
innovative fighting arms of World War II and its story has never
properly been told. Many books have focused on an element of the
story - the Hetzer, Jagdpanzer, Jagdpanther - but this is the first
time that the whole story of the development and organization of
Nazi Germany's anti-tank force will have been covered, from its
earliest origins in World War I, through its development in the
interwar period, and its baptism of fire in the early days of World
War II. This is the first of two volumes that will trace the story
through the glory years of Blitzkrieg and the improvements that
were made when Soviet tanks were first encountered, leading to new
weapons, tactics and organization. It is packed with previously
unpublished wartime photographs, combat reports, and detailed
charts and statistics to give an unparalleled account of this
unique arm of the Wehrmacht.
