PANZER ACES by Franz Kurowski

Book report

In German, "Panzer" means tank, and that is what this book is about; tanks.
It is World War II and Panzers have become a sight almost as popular as airplanes.

This book tells the stories of six of the most interesting and accomplished German tank commanders of World War II: Generalmajor Dr. Franz Bake, Oberfeldwebel Herman Bix, SS-Leutnant Rudolf Von Ribbentrop, Hauptman Hans Bolter, SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Michael Wittmann, and Hauptman Albert Ernst.

These are amazing and true stories and you can learn so much. Did you know that if Adolph Hitler had made the decision to take Moscow, it is very possible that he would have won the war?

This book also features battles in these panzer models: Panzer III (Skoda), Panzer IV (Both with the "stump" and with the 75mm long), Panzer V (Panther), Panzer VI (Tiger), and assorted tank destroyers. This is a superb book and I highly recommend it.
