The rise and fall of the Third Reich has been a source of revulsion and fascination since the close of the Second World War. The images of the concentration camps; Hitler's hypnotic oration; and the vast Nuremberg rallies are seared into the collective consciousness. However, it is important that we understand the complex circumstances which allowed this particular branch of fascism to flourish. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
The author has conducted some wonderful research and has uncovered lots of information that is likely to be new to the reader. One example is that rockets were fired from submerged submarines and that this may have happened near the Atlantic East of America. There is much to learn from this book, and I have to say that it is highly commended. Any
World War 2 submarine buff would love to get their hands on a copy, and it is well worth the
cover price.

This particular book in the Images of War series has around two hundred black and white photographs that follow the Panther Tanks and their development, I would say it is predominantly photographs obviously, with maybe slightly less supporting information about the events and campaigns. Which is perfectly fine as much of these books must overlap a bit, put the text and information is still excellent and very well written. The author Ian Baxter, is a well-known and much published author who is an excellent writer. In fact from reading these Images of War books, my knowledge and interest in tank warfare has come on greatly. I know thoroughly enjoy a good book about tanks. This book is excellent with first class photographs and the specifications section near the back is great. Definitely a 4.5 star read and highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read the full review [link=http://ukhistorianbendavidson.co.uk/hitlers-panther-tank-battalions-1943-1945/]here[/link]

I have read prior books on Nazi raids on Britain before. Those books have mentions V1 and V2 bombs but did not focus on BD team.
>From prior knowledge of Nazi history, this book helped me understand the terror people faced during this era. The bombs were large in size and destructive by impact. The BD team spend uncountable times to defuse these bombs without harm. Many have lost lives, learning to defuse the bombs.
I really enjoyed this book. The information is well researched and focused on V1 and V2 bombs. It gives homage to the BD team who gave up their time and sacrifice to clean up communities where bombs have fallen.
In addition, there are pictures of the actual bombs in the book.
