Ein Panzer ist mehr als eine rollende eiserne Festung - und genau diese Auffassung (die so ganz anders war als die der Alliierten) verhalf den Deutschen zu den erstaunlichen Erfolgen der ersten Kriegsjahre: Sie nämlich erkannten früh die Schlagkraft der neuen Waffengattung, schufen eine entsprechende Gliederung und entwickelten die passenden Einsatzgrundsätze.

Erfolgsautor Alexander Lüdeke erklärt und beschreibt in diesem Band daher neben den Panzertypen - vom Spähpanzer bis zum Königstiger - auch Hintergründe, Strukturen und Einsatzgrundsätze, also all das, was noch wichtiger war als Technik und Bewaffnung.
