Combining the destructive firepower of the 88mm gun with the
outstanding mobility of the Panther series, the Jagdpanther is
quite probably the best-known tank destroyer of the Second World
War. In the vehicle's first action on 30 July 1944, three
Jagdpanthers managed to destroy eleven British tanks in a vicious
two minute firefight near the village of Les Loges in Normandy,
cementing the Jagdpanther's reputation as a potent tank killer. In
his fifth book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses
contemporary photographs and meticulously researched, superbly
presented colour and monochrome illustrations to tell the story of
these heavy self-propelled anti-tank guns and the units which
operated them in the German defence of the Western Front. As with
all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work
showcases available model kits and aftermarket 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
modeller all the information and knowledge required.
