Tactical innovation gave them an edge where technological development had not, making Hitler's tanks a formidable enemy.Hitler's Tanks details the development and operational history of the light Panzer I and II, developed in the 1930s, the medium tanks that were the backbone of the Panzer Divisions, the Tiger, and the formidable King Tiger, the heaviest tank to see combat in World War II.
