Panzers - Push for Victory by Tom Zola is thrilling, violent, and full of German cultural and military references.
The Allied forces land in Normandy. The battle for Western Europe rages as both warring parties throw every man into the fierce fighting over the beachheads. For the Allies, it is crucial to break out into the hinterland of the coast. They fight with their backs to the English Channel. For the Germans, the battle of Normandy is a battle for sheer survival. If the Allies succeed in establishing another front in Europe, Germany is finished. Thus both sides fight with bitter morosity over each dune, each hedgerow, and each house. Allied fighter bombers darken the sky. On the ground, every operational German Panzer races toward the landing sites, no matter how often they get bombed on the way or battered by the naval artillery. Lieutenant Josef Engelmann, Sergeant Franz Berning, and Private First Class Tom Roebuck cannot escape the pure horrors unleashed by the Battle of Normandy.
It's easy to see why this series is so popular in Germany. The stories flow well but the author while expressing the huge material output of the west at the same time has wermacht units consistently defeating the material advantage. Not enough detail into how this is happening other than it just happened.
Excellent book. The action was crisp and realistic, the characters believable and interesting, and the storyline was direct and never lost it's consistent flow and hold upon the reader. First rate!
No lei Panzers 2 y 3 por lo que algunas cosas no las tengo claras. Entiendo que fue muy facil como repelieron el desembarco en Normandia ya que los aliados tenian casi completo control del aire. Sin embargo me gusto mucho la descripcion de las batallas.
