Overview of Panzer Leader
This book describes the crucial role of Heinz Guderian (1888–1954), founder of modern tank warfare, in the early successes of Germany during the Second World War. His tactics, particularly the breakthrough at Sedan and the rapid advance to the Channel coast, were decisive for the victory in France. His later campaign against Russia nearly brought the Soviet army to collapse, although he was dismissed in 1941 due to a strategic withdrawal advice that was at odds with Hitler's expectations.
Panzer Leader provides a clear and engaging account of the development and deployment of the armored divisions and also sketches a profound picture of the leaders within the Third Reich during their shift from early triumphs to paralyzing defeats.
