The 23rd Panzer Division gained a reputation as a reliable unit in some of the toughest battles of World War II from 1942 to the end of the war, including Kharkov, Rostov, Dnepropetrovsk, the Dnepr Bend, Romania, Poland, Hungary, and Lake Balaton.

The day-by-day coverage of the division’s combat actions and the hundreds of photos and maps make this an essential resource for anyone interested in the military history of World War II. It is a fascinating book that covers not only the fearsome tanks used by the division, but also the men who fought in the battles.
