This is the story of the German Panzer forces of World War II, when these awsome fighting machines came of age.

The Light and Medium Panzers

This is the story of the early war panzers: the Mark I and II machine which formed the bulk of the Panzerwaffe in the early years of the war.

Featuring rare footage and incisive commentary this unique film illustrates the follies of war. The versatile Panzer III, the German medium tanks, were forced into action to plug the gaps torn in the Wehrmacht ranks by the T-34.
