Hitler's Light Tanks

Thomas. Hitler's Wehrmacht led the way in armored warfare as the successful blitzkriegs in Poland and Northwest Europe in 1940 convincingly proved. The contribution of light tanks such as Panzers I, II, and 35(t) was critical. As the war spread to the Balkans, North Africa, and the invasion of Russia, German engineers worked tirelessly modifying existing light tanks and developing new models. The growing Soviet armored threat, in particular, spawned tank destroyers such as the Marder III Panzerjäger, SdKfz 138/1 and 139. This superbly illustrated book gives a comprehensive overview of the multitude of vehicles and variants that came into service. With the text and captions providing technical data, the images show this formidable array of fighting vehicles in action across the theaters of war. 128 pages, 250 B&W photos, 7½"x 9½", softcover.
