This book is essential for all German armour modelers.  The author has taken us back to the formation of the 1^st Panzer Division to the late-war emergence of the 24^th – 26^th, 116^th and the 130^th Panzer Divisions.  In each chapter of the book, we are shown not only the make-up of the divisions vehicles but the commanders, the battles and unit emblems.  As we enter each division in the book we are treated to the vehicles that the Wehrmacht used in each major battle and the specifications to each as well.  The further that I entered this book, I found many strange and wondrous vehicles that I know that I will be scratchbuilding later as my skills grow but with this book I know that I am heading in the right direction.  Thanks to the author for such a great book.
