A beautifully illustrated pocket guide to 40 of the most iconic World War II tanks. From the lightning Blitzkrieg assaults to the great battles in the Middle Eastern desert and desperate clashes on the Eastern Front, tanks played a vital role in World War II, becoming one of the key components of the ''combined arms'' philosophy of warfare. But how well do you know the most famous and infamous tanks of the period, and how their speed, armour and armament compare? Which Soviet tank proved impervious to German firepower? Which stopgap design turned out to the one of the best-armed tanks of its day? The World War II Tank Spotter''s Guide answers all of these questions and more, providing essential information on 40 legendary tanks, such as the Panzer, the Sherman, and the T-34. Featuring full-colour artwork to aid recognition, as well as all the details you need to compare their performance, this is the perfect pocket guide to the Allied and Axis tanks of World War II.>
