THE COMBAT CAREER OF GERMAN PANZER COMMANDER OTTO CARIUS
Otto Carius, translated by Robert J. Edwards
World War II began with a metallic roar as the German Blitzkrieg raced across Europe, spearheaded by the most dreadful weapon of the twentieth century: the Panzer. Tank commander Otto Carius thrusts the reader into the thick of battle, replete with the blood, smoke, mud, and gunpowder so common to the elite German fighting units.
