Panzer Commander: The Memoirs of Colonel Hans von Luck (CASSELL MILITARY PAPERBACKS)

Product Information

Someday, there will be a World War II armored warfare simulation with the essential features that fans of this genre want. It will be fairly realistic, provide great gameplay, and work reasonably well out of the box. Until then, we'll have to settle for SSI's Panzer Commander, the latest in a somewhat disappointing group of tank sims released this year. Fritz Deutschmann: " Vom U-Boot-Offizier zum passionierten Jäger". A biography of the former Engineering Officer of U-18, U-3034 and U-3505.

Players have the opportunity to take part in multiple campaigns in both the German and Russian armies. There are twelve tanks representing Russia, including T-34 and KV-1, and twelve tank types representing Germany, including PzKpfw III and PzKpfw IV. Additionally, there are sixteen scenarios that can be played in either easy, hard, or expert difficulty levels. Helmut Ritgen: " Western Front 1944: Memoirs of a Panzer Lehr Officer".

Hans Schmidt: " SS-Panzergrenadier: A True Story of World War II". Schmidt at the young age of 16 was a Hitler Youth leader and decided to enroll in the Waffen-SS in 1944. He probably belonged to the last batch of recruits to experience the extremely tough but excellent regular training of this elite force, and therefore Schmidt and his comrades fought with such discipline to the bitter end. Schmidt's first combat assignment was in December of 1944 in the First SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte and arrived in the Ardennes forest at the very beginning of the Battle of the Bulge. At the conclusion of that battle most of his comrades were dead and he in the hospital. Heavy fighting in Hungary followed and he ended the war in brutal combat in Austria. At war's end he voluntarily went into U.S. captivity and tells of his firsthand experiences in the death by starvation and neglect of hundreds of thousands of German soldiers. Schmidt through solid determination was able to get out of the camp and with the aid of some U.S. soldiers able to reach his home .... Further along the road he encountered more Russian prisoners of war (PoWs) who had been summarily executed by their German captors.
