Die Panzer Instandsetzung der Wehrmacht

A book by Lukas Friedli

Horst Krönke's Tiger II at Bartenstein

While there have been countless books written on Germany's armoured forces of World War II, little information exists about the tank maintenance sections - the Panzer Instandsetzung der Wehrmacht - which kept the German tanks in running order.

To remedy this void, Lukas Friedli has now published the book Die Panzer Instandsetzung der Wehrmacht. Based on original documents, carefully selected books and veteran interviews, this is by far the most detailed work on the German tank maintenance units.

"...the book is an Aladdin's cave of information and should be snapped up by anyone who likes to paw over previously unpublished black and white wartime photographs of vehicles being fixed... We love it!"
