1-995327

New assessment of the German tank force that won its greatest Blitzkrieg victory in France during 1940. Explains that although the German Panzers won their reputation in France, they were far from being a technological juggernaut. The vast majority were the small PzKpfw I and PzKpfw II light tanks. The more effective medium tanks such as the PzKpfw III and PzKpfw IV were available in relatively small numbers. Examines the wide range of German tanks employed in France in 1940, as well as their organization and tactical doctrine. Contains 40 photos and 8 pages of color illustrations.
