Publisher's Synopsis
Designed to counter the Soviet T-34, the German Panther tank became one of the best -- and most feared -- tanks of World War II. The Panther, weighing 45 tons and packing a 75-millimeter main gun, debuted at the Battle of Kursk in 1943 and saw action in the east and west through the end of the war. Panther in Detail is a fully illustrated chronicle of the Panther and features hundreds of photos, including close-up shots of the Panther's interior; shots of crews, equipment, and accessories; and photographs from factories and the battlefield.
