Wehrmacht Panzer Divisions 1939-45 (Essential Identification Guide)

I was surprised how detailed this book is when it shows the battles/campaigns that some of these tanks were in, and even when they were regrouped and taken out for refit, etc. Great detail for any wargamer. The colorful pages of these tanks would be great for any model enthusiast to see how to paint replicas of these tanks. In just a few days of peering at the pages of some of the german tanks I am able to recognize a few of the units insignia's now from old WWII footage. Gives units order of battle for the respective divisions and even the different names of the officers in that particular division and time period. I can't go on and explain how much I learned from this book but I was fascinated by all the information I found in this entire book. Lots of valuable information about the german tank divisions of WWII for any avid wargamer or WWII enthusiast.

I already have Waffen SS Panzer Divisions. Same author and format. As a modeler, I was looking for a book that would highlight the essentials of the various German units. This text gives the the essential information when deterining what unit to place my model project into. From there I could seek more detailed information on a particular German unit from other sources. I like the format and the summary of each unit from inception to final disposition at the end of the war. Included are commanders, main weapons used, formations, and each unit's history. It is a very usable book.

Visual guides to German divisions are scarce and this is the best to date. It is hard to get a sense of the inherent power of a WW 2 division with out charts showing actual vehicles etc. This book is highly recommended and now needs a companion volume for Waffen SS/LW Panzer units and a further volume on Panzergrenadier divisions. Bring them on!!

Great book on wehrmacht divisions, nice detail the time line and geographic locations where and when these units operated.

great for camo pictures for different units in various time periods. not as useful for following the development of AFV thru the war.

Excellent resource for WWII info. I have others in the series. I have found the content to be educational and usable for my pastimes.

This is a book with a lot of information and photos, well worth the perches.

Good book.

I bought this for my eight-year-old son whose favourite subject is history - particularly military battles. This has became a well-used reference book for him.

Great book. Full of useful information and great for research. Covers all areas and theatres of war.

Just the job for modelers and enthusiasts alike.

Good information Guide

Great references to wh divisions vehicles and colour schemes for each period, fantastic references book for modelers.
