Information

------------------------------



This 'War Archive' set of exclusive programs brings the most comprehensive collection of the Wehrmacht's mobile fighting armor ever compiled as a definitive series.

At the heart of the series is the story of the evolution of the German tank, including the Panzer and Tiger tanks in their various configurations, which swept all before them throughout Europe, Russia and Middle East during the Blitzkrieg campaigns. Their powers are amply illustrated through the lenses of the German combat cameramen who accompanied the front line action in all the theaters of war. Their abilities are assessed and judged against the capanilities of the allied armor which they were born to crush.

In addition the series is complemented with in-depth coverage of the armored cars and half tracks whose main task was to range ahead of the tank battalions. It was often said that where you found these vehicles, the Panzers would not be far behind.

The series deals with the evolution of each tank, many of which were judged to be the best designed tanks of the war.

9)  Panzer - Germany's Ultimate War Machine

During WW2, the need for capable and qualified crewmen to work with and maintain the equipment became vital. In order to keep up with the demands of warfare, soldiers and engineers were educated partly with training films. This program shows footage of the Tiger tanks during Operation Citadel, as well as edited highlights of two German Army training films from late 1943 and mid 1944.

Including two major military productions, the first of these films was produced to show how to convert the Panther tank, allowing it to successfully deal with the extensive Soviet defenses like those it encountered at its debut in Kursk. The second film from 1944, made for the benefit of personnel serving in Sdkfz 251 D's and the Panzerjaeger IV, may well be the only footage of this type to survive the war.

Finally there are sequences showing such machines as the late Model Brummbaer which round off this fascinating assemblage of unique footage of German armored fighting vehicles from the latter part of WW2.
