Hitler's Tank Destroyers (Images of War) Kindle Edition

This WWII pictorial history of Nazi anti-tank vehicles illustrates the Germans’ ever-increasing need for defense against Allied armor.

During World War II, combatants on both sides developed increasingly effective armored vehicles and tactics. The German military’s answer to American Shermans and British Cruisers was to create dedicated anti-tank vehicles such as the Panzerjger I, Sturmgeschtz, Marders, Nashorn. Hetzer, Jagdpanzer, Elefant, Jagdtiger IV and Jagdpanther. Fully illustrated with rare wartime photographs, Hitler’s Tank Destroyers covers the each of these models, detailing their development and technology throughout the war.

As the war progressed, larger and more powerful tank destroyers entered the battlefield. Due the overwhelming enemy opposition, they were compelled to not only attack armor, but also support ground troops. This comprehensive account covers all the Nazis mobile anti-tank vehicles in words and images.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent account of a heavy anti tank units of the German army

This is a tale of desperation were a handful of anti tank vehicles try to steam off the tides of the war in every front that the german battles for survival, sometimes with success, but in the end they only delay the inevitable, great selection of pictures of these hunter tanks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent photos, nice descriptive text, but some sloppy editing mistakes. Still, highly recommended

I've been a panzer fan for over 40 years, and thought I'd seen just about all the photos worth publishing, but it's amazing that there still seems to be a wealth of new images turning up and being printed.

This book is notable for having very few reprints of the most well-known pics of various jagdpanzers and other "star"vehicles---Nashorns, StuGs, and a whole host of Marders of all stripes are included. Noteworthy is a whole group of photos of the brutish Marder IID Sd.Kfz.132 7.62cm PaK 36--the one with the captured Russian PaK on the boxy chassis. There is also a new photo which I have never seen of a final-production Jagdtiger with the reinforced front fenders. The text is adequately descriptive and informative beyond being simply generic tank-speak.

Strangely, the Hummel self-propelled howitzer - an indirect artillery gun, not a "tank hunter" -- is include in the mix, several times. A page in the back of the book claims that it was occasionally used as a "specialized tank hunter role" but I've never heard this to be confirmed unless you mean that an artillery had the luck to fall on a T34 somewhere (not inconceivable, but not a confirmation of anything more than luck!)

I would have given five stars but for some sloppy editing errors such as one photo appearing twice within two pages and a photo of the monstrous "Maus" being inserted where the caption obviously describes another unrelated vehicle altogether--in fact the "Maus" caption never appears anywhere. There are very few photos of the last mighty jagdpanzers such as the Jagdpanther/Tiger but there are some interesting Jdpz IV photos to salivate over.

All in all, the book was a pleasant surprise, and a happy purchase.

Lots of great pictures, well worth the $2 sale price I paid. But lots of generic and repetitive information. Worse though, many (obvious) incorrect designations for the various vehicles. So its not reference quality for sure.

I enjoyed this quick read due to its economy and photos. As others have already noted, there are some identification errors and maybe too many photos especially of some versions (Marders for example) which repeat similar thoughts and not enough operational and tactical analysis. But overall, I did enjoy this small book. Zaloga does a better job at getting into the metrics of the particular armor in question whereas Thomas provides a more general overview of tank destroyer evolution throughout the war. I wish there was more analysis of the mid-tier destroyers in action (Hornisse/Nashorn, Hummels, Jagdpanthers and StuGs) and also some additional focus on the end of war versions as well (Jagdtigers, Jagdpanzers, etc.). I think it would be helpful to get a better operational sense of the various roles played by tank destroyers, assault guns and mobile artillery but the author does point out that there was increasing focus on defense and even tank-substitution taking place after 1942-43. But this was true to it's cover "Images of War" and there were many good photos that I had not seen before. This is a niche area and all in all, a pretty good job.

In questo periodo in offerta a prezzo fisso (un curioso 3,63 euro a volume) ma se comprate i libri originali li pagate 5-6 volte di più. Sintetici nei testi, riccamente illustrati. Per gli appassionati di storia militare una miniera d'oro.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book, but...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2018

A very interesting collection of pictures of German self propelled artillery and tank destroyers of the Second World War. The author clearly knows his stuff and has included lots of good pictures of some rare, and lesser known vehicles used by the Germans.
However, what lets this book down slightly is the text. It's almost as if it hasn't been proof read before going into print. Some of the captions are repetitive, and in some cases the same wording has been used in more than one caption. One of the photos has even been duplicated, and a slightly different caption used. Not a brilliant standard for a book that costs £12.49.
