Description
Richly illustrated with hundreds of rare and previously unpublished images, Volume 2 offers the most complete portrait yet of Germany’s motorised and armoured forces in the Great War. Together with Volume 1, it forms a definitive two-part history of a formative but neglected branch of the Imperial Army. Essential for military historians, researchers, and enthusiasts of early armoured warfare, it reveals how Germany’s mechanised troops helped shape the future of twentieth-century combat.
The First World War marked the dawn of mechanised warfare, and while Germany entered the conflict with limited experience in armoured vehicles, by 1918 it had fielded some of the most ambitious innovations of the age. Imperial German Motorised Troops 1914–18 Volume 2 continues Jacek Zabielski’s authoritative study, focusing on the combat arms that pushed the boundaries of technology: anti-aircraft artillery, armoured cars, and tanks.
