The German conquest of France in 1940 was a significant military achievement, marking the Wehrmacht's greatest victory in the country. The German Panzers, renowned for their Blitzkrieg tactics, played a crucial role in this victory. However, contrary to popular belief, the German Panzers were not a technological juggernaut. The majority of the tanks used in France were small PzKpfw I and PzKpfw II light tanks, while the more effective medium tanks such as the PzKpfw III and PzKpfw IV were available in relatively small numbers. The effectiveness of these medium tanks was largely due to training and doctrine rather than technological superiority. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the German tank force that won the Battle of France, with illustrations including unpublished photos and superb new artwork. It examines the wide range of German tanks employed in France in 1940, as well as their organization and tactical doctrine.
