PANZER REGIMENT 8 IN WORLD WAR II

Dettagliata storia di uno dei primi reggimenti Panzer tedeschi. Le operazioni svolte prima in Polonia e Francia e successivamente con Rommel in Africa settentrionale. Rare immagini del reggimento durante fasi d’addestramento e in combattimento sui vari fronti.

Formed in 1936, Panzer Regiment 8 served in both the 10th and 15th Panzer Divisions and saw action in Poland, France, and in May 1941 with the famed German Africa Corps, under the legendary Rommel. The regiment went on to serve with high distinction in every major battle fought in Africa until May 1943, when out of fuel and ammunition, the regiment’s ability to fight on came to an end. This book sheds new light on the history of the German panzer arm and gives in depth detail of the lives and battles that were fought by these proud Swabian troops.
