Tankograd Publishing WH4016 Wehrmacht Special Vol.16 Panzer II: History, Technology, Variants, Combat (English)

PANZER II
History - Technology - Variants - Combat
The legendary reputation of the German Panzertruppe is mainly based on the tank types Panther and Tiger. However, less than ten years before these legends entered the stage the German Armoured Corps had to make do with the Panzer I and Panzer II which were mainly purchased for training purposes. Although unlikely candidates for World War 2 tank engagements these two Panzers entered the war and did the job before heavier tanks became available. This publication shows the development history, combat on all frontlines and variants of the Panzerkampfwagen II, one of the tanks of the Panzerwaffe that was never meant to become a legend in the first place.
