Product Overview

This is one of the most significant military books of the twentieth century.
By an outstanding soldier of independent mind, it pushed forward the evolution
of land warfare and was directly responsible for German armoured supremacy in
the early years of the Second World War. Published in 1937, the result of 15
years of careful study since his days on the German General Staff in the First
World War, Achtung Panzer! argues how vital the proper use of tanks and
supporting armoured vehicles would be in the conduct of a future war. When
that war came, just two years later, he proved it, leading his Panzers with
distinction in the Polish, French and Russian campaigns. Panzer warfare had
come of age, exactly as he had forecast.This first English translation of
Heinz Guderian's classic book - used as a textbook by Panzer officers in the
war - has an introduction and extensive background notes by the modern English
historian Paul Harris. Read more
