Description

This richly illustrated volume reproduces hundreds of rare and previously unpublished photographs, showing vehicles and their crews on every front—from the Western Front and the Balkans to the Middle East, as well as specially commissioned colour artwork. Technical detail is combined with human stories: drivers in leather tunics posing proudly by their machines, improvised adaptations to vehicles in the field, and the constant struggle against poor roads, shortages of fuel and tyres, and the sheer mechanical strain of total war.

Volume 1 lays the groundwork for understanding the broader impact of Germany’s motorized forces, which are further explored in Volume 2.
