All were as heavily armed as could be arranged, were capable of destroying their prey at considerable ranges, and protected their crews under slope armour armoured carapaces. This title places the Panzerjäger in their tactical context as well as being fully descriptive. Alongside the contemporary photographs of the equipment is use, the book also includes specially prepared colour artworks showing variations in camouflage markings. With interest in all forms of military equipment from World War 2 increasing; this new series from Ian Allan Publishing comes at an appropriate time.
