“I'd pondered whether to get this book for a month or two. But now, I'm glad I did ! As the title suggests, this book covers the history of one of the Panzer manufacturing plants in Germany, both before and during WWII. There are pictures of completed prototypes, vehicles under testing and production lines. With plenty of (B & W) photographs, maps, and history, it chronicles the life of the plant, developers, and workforce. Overall, a highly recommended book !”

“interesting pictures, good and helpful comments to obtain some details shown. Shows not only the production of tank in warefare-times, also the testing and the conditions thereby. I enjoy every page.”

“Books like Nurnberg's Panzer Factory are invaluable for amateur historians like me when they bring to light largely unknown gems of information that counter commonly republished "facts". One of these concerns engineer Otto Merker, who had a large hand in developing sloping armour plates and double torsion bar suspension. Most histories give the credit to the Russians for sloped armour, however it appears they clearly recognised its value when Merker's vehicles were secretly tested in the Soviet Union before the start of World War II. It became fashionable after the war to downgrade the effect of the Allied bombing campaign, especially by the RAF. However, the book makes it clear that while the raids on the MAN factory earlier in the war had little to moderate effect, a major RAF raid in January 1945 wiped out significant Panther production for the rest of the war. It's a detail that doesn't appear in books decrying the RAF's contribution. Images throughout the book are clear and sharp, and are the type of pictures that are so interesting that you look into them rather than just glance at them because the detail is so absorbing.”

“Good book with nice and very sharp pictures. It begins with trucks and cars and goes to the Panther as last, with very beautifull interior pictures of a Panther Ausf. G”
