ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
During World War II, the two pre-eminent mechanized infantry forces of the
conflict, the German Panzergrenadier arm and the US Army’s armoured
infantrymen, clashed in France and Belgium after the Normandy landings.
These engagements went on to profoundly influence the use of mechanized
infantry in the post-war world. Drawing upon a variety of sources, this book
focuses on three key encounters between July and December 1944 including
during OperationCobraand
the Battle of the Bulge, and examines the origins, equipment, doctrine and
combat record of both forces.
With specially commissioned full-colour artwork and maps, this study sheds
light on the evolving nature of mechanized warfare at the height of World
War II.
