Produktbeschreibung

Author Mike Green provides new insights into the creation and ultimate failure of the German Panther tank.

In most people's opinion, the German Panther tank was the most elegant tank design of World War II. It embodied a balance of firepower, armor protection, and mobility unmatched by any other tank of the period.

Yet, it was not the war-winner it might have been. Author Mike Green examines the disparity between the potential of the Panther design and the actuality of the fielded Panther tank in this book. Though many viewed the Panther as an engineering masterpiece and a technological breakthrough, it failed to meet expectations on the battlefield, and thus proved a major setback to Hitler's dreams of world domination.

Green explores the evolution, and devolution, of the Panther, providing keen insight and new reasons for its ultimate failure.
