Central to the German strategy of dealing with an Allied landing in
France was the availability of a strong, mobile armoured reserve.
In June 1944, as part of this force, the Army in the West was able
to deploy over 300 Panther tanks, perhaps the best armoured
fighting vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War.
British and American tank crews found to their horror that the
Panthers could often survive numerous hits while a single round
from one of their 75mm guns was enough to destroy any enemy tank.
In his book, his third in the Tank Craft series, Dennis Oliver uses
archive photographs and painstakingly researched, exquisitely
presented colour illustrations to examine the part these powerful
tanks played in the Normandy battles and also the battalions that
operated them. As with previous titles in the Tank Craft series, a
large part of this book showcases available model kits and
aftermarket products and accessories, complemented by a gallery of
skilfully constructed and painted models.
