GERMAN SELF-PROPELLED ANTI-TANK AND ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, 1939-1945: Images of War Series

1-252110

Examines the development and deployment of German self-propelled anti-tank and anti-aircraft vehicles during WWII, both key elements of the Nazi Army. Anti-tank weapons assumed great importance from the outbreak of war as combatants developed ever more effective armored vehicles and tactics. Examples of the development of tank destroyer technology throughout the war are the Marders, Jagdpanzer 38, and Nashorn. Anti-aircraft firepower was vital to give protection to troops from increasingly potent Allied ground-attack. Contains 200 mono illustrations.
