Armor in Normandy: The Germans
Alexandre Thers
Each mini-guide allows the reader to get to know more about a
region's history, linking historical events with places of interest
and sites of note, as well as providing an unprecedented visual
feast of photographs, uniforms, badges and equipment. Practical
information is included in each mini-guide and itineraries are
suggested for those wishing to visit battlefields, monuments,
memorials and museums.
Panzers - A word that had come to epitomize the relentless
German onslaught of the early part of the war, and the seemingly
unstoppable power of their armored forces. But now, in 1944, the
Wehrmacht was overstretched and declining in power. At sea and
in the air, neither the Kriegsmarine nor the Luftwaffe was capable
of stopping the gigantic assault on the Normandy coastline.
On the ground, many of the German infantry divisions were of
poor quality and of little combat value. The guns and emplacements
of the “Atlantic Wall” failed their ultimate test. For the Germans, the
only remaining hope was that their Panzer forces would be strong
enough to resist the invaders and throw them back into the sea.
This mini-guide presents the most representative selection of tanks,
tank destroyers, and heavy artillery the Germans had at their
disposal at this critical time.
Soft Cover, 32 pages, b/w& color photos – maps.
