Germany’s Panzer Arm in World War II

No 20th-century military organisation has been as widely studied as the German Army in World War II. Nevertheless, there are almost no truly integrated studies that cover the organisational, economic, personnel, doctrinal, and tactical factors that affected the panzer arm’s performance. Drawing on German military documents as well as memoirs, battle reports, and other materials, DiNardo fills that gap with this detailed examination of the panzer arm from the inter-war years through the end of World War II and provides new perspectives on the rise and decline of the Third Reich’s war machine.
