PANZER LEHR DIVISION 1944-45:
WWII GERMAN MILITARY STUDIES VOLUME 1

Panzer Lehr was one of the most elite German armoured

reports by former officers, principally its commander Fritz
Bayerlein. Virtually all of these reports have remained
unpublished since they were written soon after the end of WWII.
A number of the reports include detailed order-of-battle and
other organisational data and numerous of situation maps are
also featured.
