Jagdpanther Tank Destroyer - German Army, Western Europe 1944 -1945

"Combining the destructive power of the 88mm gun with the outstanding mobility of the Panther series, the Jagdpanther is quite probably the best-known tank destroyer of the Second World War. In the vehicle's first action on 30 July, 1944, three Jagdpanthers managed to destroy eleven British tanks in a vicious two-minute firefight near the village of Saint-Martin-des-Bois in Normandy, cementing [its] reputation as a potent tank killer."--Back cover.
