The German conquest of France in 1940 was perhaps the Wehrmacht's biggest military offensive, taking France in just a few weeks after its failure in World War I. New tank tactics, known as 'Blitzkrieg', were at the heart of the German victory.

Description & Specifications

A fully illustrated new assessment of the German tank force that achieved its greatest victory in France in 1940. The German conquest of France in 1940 was perhaps the Wehrmacht's biggest military offensive, taking France in just a few weeks after its failure in World War I. New tank tactics, known as 'Blitzkrieg', were at the heart of the German victory.

In this book, renowned armored vehicle expert Steven J. Zaloga re-evaluates the armored force that made success possible and explains that although German tanks gained fame in France, they were by no means a technological superpower. The vast majority consisted of small tanks PzKpfw I and PzKpfw II. The more effective medium tanks, such as PzKpfw III and PzKpfw IV, were available in relatively small numbers. Their effectiveness had much more to do with training and doctrine than with technology.

Through illustrations including unpublished photographs and excellent new artwork, this book examines the wide range of German tanks used in France in 1940, as well as their organization and strategic doctrine.
