The 10th Panzer Division was formed shortly before the outbreak of war. It fought with distinction during the invasions of Poland and France before taking part in Operation Barbarossa on the Eastern Front. In 1942, the division returned to France for reorganisation before deploying to North Africa, where it became part of Germany’s attempt to halt the Allied advance.
The 10th Panzer Division fought experienced British forces before facing American troops during their first major battles against the German Army. The division played a leading role at the Battle of Kasserine Pass, one of the best-known engagements of the North African campaign. After months of heavy fighting, it surrendered in Tunisia in May 1943. Despite its distinguished combat record, the 10th Panzer Division was never reformed.
Authors Jean Restayn and Norbert Möller combine outstanding research with one of the finest photographic collections devoted to the 10th Panzer Division. This book includes more than 450 black-and-white photographs, many published for the first time from veterans’ collections and French and German archives.
The clear narrative is supported by campaign maps, orders of battle and detailed tank strength tables. As a result, readers gain a complete understanding of the division’s organisation, equipment and combat operations.
One of the highlights of this 10th Panzer Division book is its exceptional artwork. Thirty-four pages of full-colour illustrations depict the tanks, assault guns, artillery, armoured personnel carriers, armoured cars and transport vehicles used throughout the division’s service. The book also illustrates many Allied vehicles encountered during its campaigns, making it an excellent identification guide.
