In September 1939, the tanks of Panzer-Regiment 5 swept into Poland, a devastating part of the German blitzkrieg that opened World War II with a terrifying display of military force. The following spring, the regiment rumbled across France, again showing the destructive power of the panzer. But the unit's greatest fame would come in the North African desert, where Panzer-Regiment 5 joined Erwin Rommel's vaunted Afrika Korps as it battled the British back and forth beneath the scorching sun of Libya and Egypt.This book is a great introduction and explanation about the Panzer-Regiment 5 in the early stage of the war and how their participation in the early Germany war campaign have deep impact in the war. This title is a really nice blend of photos, informative maps, orders of battle, text and personal accounts. This volume ends in December 1941, looking forward to volume 2.
