Book Description/Synopsis:
The German Panther
tank was almost certainly the most elegant design of WWII. It embodied a
balance of firepower, armour protection and mobility unmatched by any other
tank of the period. Yet it was not the war-winner it might have been. Author
Mike Green examines the disparity between the potential of the Panther design
and the actuality of the fielded Panther tank in his new book. Though many
viewed the Panther as an engineering masterpiece and a technological
breakthrough, the Panther failed to meet expectations on the battlefield,
thereby crushing Hitler's dreams of world domination. Green explores the
evolution - and devolution - of the Panther, providing keen insight and new reasons
for its ultimate failure.
