For the price I was astounded at what a great book it is. It stands with much more expensive books in every detail, including a supplement that came with it. My interest in the big cats, primarily the Tiger E, includes how such heavy machines could be recovered in the primitive conditions of the Eastern Front where just because there was a dirt road ahead did not mean that the Tiger would not get just as stuck fast as it would have driving through a marsh. That these incredible land machines could be recovered at all, much less repaired with "make do" solutions really caused me to gain an interest in the heavy machines as problems to be solved as much as the vehicles' reputaitions for fighting. This extended to the Panther as well, and the factory gives a good look at how these legendary tanks were put together and later repaired and often became Frankenpanthers. If I am not mistaken, there is a photo of a Panther in a background of a photo that is quite a find of something quite rare. It would be a disservice to you the reader, if I told you what it is! I think the book as a whole is a wonderful achievement and will be of interest to historians as much as scale modelers! It is a keeper, so get one!

I'd pondered whether to get this book for a month or two. But now, I'm glad I did ! As the title suggests, this book covers the history of one of the Panzer manufacturing plants in Germany, both before and during WWII. There are pictures of completed prototypes, vehicles under testing and production lines. With plenty of (B & W) photographs, maps, and history, it chronicles the life of the plant, developers, and workforce. Overall, a highly recommended book !
