Reviews

"The author has succeeded in reaching his stated goal of an integrated study of Germany's Panzer forces. He has successfully joined in a succinct narrative his primary research and secondary literature....[T]he synthesis provided by this book will be of use both to scholars who are specialists in the history of the German Army, and to the readers of military history in general."-The Journal of Military History

?DiNardo...offers valuable discussion of personnel policies, militray training, doctrine, and divisional organization. In a generally well--written account, he argues that while Germany's tank forces were excellent overall, they suffered from Germany's comparative lack of personnel familiar with automobiles and thus easily trained on tanks....the book is well worth reading by anyone interested in German military history.?-German Studies Review
