From the publisher: Central to the German strategy of dealing with an Allied landing in France was the availability of a strong, mobile armored reserve. In June 1944, as part of this force, the Army in the West was able to deploy more than 300 Panther tanks, perhaps the best armored fighting vehicle produced by Germany during World War II. British and American tank crews found to their horror that the Panthers could often survive numerous hits, while a single round from their 75mm gun was enough to destroy any enemy tank.
In his book, third in the Tank Craft series, Dennis Oliver uses archival photographs and illustrations to relate the part these powerful tanks played in the Normandy battles and list the battalions that operated them. As with previous titles in the Tank Craft series, a large part of this book showcases available model kits and aftermarket products and accessories, complemented by a gallery of skillfully constructed and painted models.
FSM says: Includes an overview of available kits and aftermarket accessories: decals, tracks, and photo-etch.
