The Armourer, August 2019

I found this book very enlightening about the German perspective of the Normandy campaign. Many authors have examined the American, British and Canadian aspects, but I have found few books looking at the other side. It highlighted for me the fear that Allied air power generated amongst German commanders and soldiers, yet the actual number of German tanks destroyed by air power was relatively small. A more significant problem was the lack of fuel at the front line, and the breakdowns suffered by the German tanks. Again, the claims and counter claims about the number of tanks destroyed leads one to be sceptical about the numbers quoted by various authors, and to question the definition of ‘destroyed’... In conclusion, my view is that this book is a valuable asset to anyone having an interest in German armoured formations in the West, and the Normandy campaign in particular.

British Military History, Rob Palmer

The book makes for a good read and puts the performance of the German units not just into the story of the battle for Normandy, but in the wider context of the longer campaign in North West Europe.

You should seriously consider purchasing this if you want a better picture from the German viewpoint.
