Thanks to this exhaustive work, these armoured vehicles that left their tracks on every battlefield from 1939 to 1945 will hold no more secrets for you.

For the first time in French, this compendium is packed with previously unpublished photographs from private and official collections, precise profiles and technical information of every kind.

From the Neubaufahrzeug to the Panzer VI Tiger I and II and even the Panzer VIII Maus, all versions of these legendary machines are covered in this true reference encyclopaedia. Each vehicle is the subject of a meticulous description illustrated with four-view plates, a technical data sheet and a concise text highlighting the main differences between two variants of the same Panzer.

Lengthy introductions for each category (light, medium, heavy and super-heavy tanks) place these machines in their historical context in order to better understand the reasons for their design, and concise analyses assess their performance. You will thus be given the reasons for the deployment of the formidable Panther and Tiger, as well as the tactical contingencies that led to the development of Panzer tanks of nearly 190 tonnes armed with a 12.8 cm gun.
