Army Panzer Uniforms in Colour Photographs

The uniforms of the German tank troops - Panzertruppe - were probably the most dramatic of any worn by World War 11 combat units. As these Panzer Divisions spearheaded Germany's victorious advances in the early years of the war, so the appearance of the black-clad tank crews became one of the enduring images of the new Blitzkrieg warfare. Today, 60 years after they were last worn in action, accurate references for the dress, insignia and personal equipment of these armoured vehicle crews are particularly sought-after by modellers and collectors. Surviving examples of these uniforms are rare, and command high prices when they come to the market. In this book the experienced Australian collector, photographer and writer WADE KRAWCZYK presents clear, close-up colour photographs of a remarkable range of varying patterns of original Panzer headgear, uniforms and insignia, with detailed explanatory text. The collection is completed by examples of Panzer-related documents, war-time portraits and other ephemera.
