The German Panzerjager, or Panzerjagertruppe, was one of the most innovative fighting arms of World War II and its story has never properly been told. Many books have focused on an element of the story - the Hetzer, Jagdpanzer, Jagdpanther - but this is the first time that the whole story of the development and organization of Nazi Germany's anti-tank force will have been covered, from its earliest origins in World War I, through its development in the interwar period, and its baptism of fire in the early days of World War II. This is the first of two volumes that will trace the story through the glory years of Blitzkrieg and the improvements that were made when Soviet tanks were first encountered, leading to new weapons, tactics and organization. It is packed with previously unpublished wartime photographs, combat reports, and detailed charts and statistics to give an unparalleled account of this unique arm of the Wehrmacht.

The memoir of Dr. Hans Heinz Rehfeldt covering his service in Russia, Hungary, Lithuania and the Battle for East Prussia. In 1940, Rehfeldt volunteered for the Panzer Arm, but was trained on heavy mortar and Machine Guns with Grossdeutschland Division. He was on the Front from 1941 fighting for the city of Tula, south of Moscow. Battling in freezing conditions. His descriptions of the privations are vivid and terrifying. With no winter clothes they resorted to using those taken from Soviet corpses. Returning to his old unit in May 1944, he experienced the heavy defensive battles in Romania as a platoon commander and from August 1944 in East Prussia and Lithuania. After being transferred by ship from Memel to Konigsberg in late 1944, he took part in the battles for Ostprussen in the winter of 1944/1945. Constantly exposed to the attacks of Russian bombers and fighter planes and severely wounded by shrapnel on the leg, he managed, with the help of a Russian volunteer and a horse-drawn vehicle to get from Balga to Rosenberg, from there by ship transport via Pillau to Swinoujscie and by train to Schwerin. Fleeing impending Russian imprisonment he fled to the west, falling into American captivity on 3 May 1945, and being released in July 1945.

Bird's-eye view illustrations and maps in this book help to unravel the detail of unit directions, priorities and deployments, and the tactical failures that led to the day-by-day war of attrition that lasted for nearly five months.

Reading copy. By 1942 the civilised world had been brought to the brink of ruin. At the height of their power the European dictators and the Japanese military autocracy ruled ruthlessly almost half the world. Standing alone, the British were bankrupt and the United States only driven from isolation by the humiliation at Pearl Harbour. Before the tide fully turned in 1943, the machinery of the holocaust was in place and nuclear devastation well on the way to become a reality. Fifty years on the lessons of the Second World War continue to reverberate unheeded.
