In the battles to hold the Eastern
Front, the Panther tank was perhaps the most important
weapon in the Wehrmacht’s arsenal. Desperately switched from
one crisis-point to the next, the Panther battalions of the
Heer, Waffen-SS and the Luftwaffe were able to blunt the Red
Army’s spearheads time and again and in 1944 the Panther’s
body was used to create the best known tank destroyer of the
war, The Jagdpanther. In this book, the first in a series,
Dennis Oliver and Stephen Andrew examine these deservedly
famous tanks and their crews. Volume 1 includes Unit
histories of the Army’s Panther battalions from
Panzer-Regiment 1 to Panzer-Regiment 25, 13 pages of full
colour artwork, detailed tables of organisation and
explanation of the KstN system, black and white archive
photographs and campaign maps.

OSPREY CAMPAIGN 265: FALL GELB (2).
AIRBORNE ASSAULT ON THE LOW COUNTRIES
by Douglas C. Dildy. Illustrated by Peter Dennis
The great blitzkrieg campaign of
May/June 1940 saw German forces pour through Holland and
Belgium to confront the French and British. The assault was
audacious; it relied on speed, feinting and manoeuvre as
much as superior force, and in the end these qualities were
to prove decisive. Featuring vivid illustrations,
illuminative bird's eye views and maps, this book charts the
unfolding of an unprecedented ‘lightning war’, which saw the
first ever airborne assault at a strategic level, and the
largest clash of armour to date. Never in the history of
warfare had the clash between such large, powerful, and
apparently equal forces been decided so swiftly.
