"First class illustration and a very effective text overview . . . covers the development, on the Panther chassis, of a very effective tank destroyer."— Firetrench Combining the destructive firepower of the 88mm gun with the outstanding mobility of the Panther series, the Jagdpanther is quite probably the best-known tank destroyer of the Second World War. In the vehicle's first action on 30 July 1944, three Jagdpanthers managed to destroy eleven British tanks in a vicious two-minute fire fight near the village of Les Loges in Normandy, cementing the Jagdpanther's reputation as a potent tank killer. In his fifth book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses contemporary photographs and meticulously researched, superbly presented color and monochrome illustrations to tell the story of these heavy self-propelled antitank guns and the units which operated them in the German defense of the Western Front. As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained giving the modeler all the information and knowledge required. "Really interesting concept to combine historical, technical and modeling content in one book. Nicely illustrated . . . As a first Jagdpanther book for modelers seeking an economical source on models, accessories and paint schemes, this is valuable… Highly Recommended for Beginner to Intermediate builders."— AMPS

Nice Book
Nice well rounded book. A bit of history, some nice photos and model builds. A decent book on just the Jagdpanther is hard to find.

Highly recommended
I've been familiar with Dennis Oliver's work for some time now, and feel comfortable to say he has set a new standard, when it comes to WW II armor and armored units.Having nothing more to say, I can only highly recommend them to anyone interested on this subject.

Decent Review
Not bad for what it is. Not too deep but enough for intermediate study. Good depth and citation of sources.

Oliver in more typical form
First, the bad bit - ignore the Kindle page count, it’s bloated by terrible formatting in the modeling section.The rest is a lot more reminiscent of Oliver’s books on German armor put out by ADH Publishing. *Very* reminiscent. Since a lot of the multi-volume titles promised by ADH never appeared, I’m guessing that most of this title - except the modeling section - started as material for one of those unreleased titles. This is a *good* thing., since those were excellent books, and the non-appearance of so many of them was frustrating.So all in all, a rather good title - now if only they could figure out a way of getting the modeling section to stop looking like a complete mess.

Very Good Overview

très bon auteur qui a déjà écrit plusieurs livres sur les chars de la 2éme guerre mondial, les écrits sont accompagnés de très beaux profils couleurs de plus pour les maquettistes tous produits "after-market" ainsi que les différents fabricants de maquettes. A recommander

Ideal para fans de la historia y los tanques, pero está en inglés
Compré Jagdpanther Tank Destroyer: German Army, Western Europe 1944-1945 (Tank Craft) y es un libro muy recomendable si a la persona le gusta la historia militar y, en especial, los tanques.Eso sí, hay que tener en cuenta que está en inglés, así que es mejor para quien se maneje con el idioma o esté acostumbrado a leer este tipo de libros. Para aficionados al tema, es un acierto.

Grundlage für Panzermodellbauer
Teilweise schöne und seltenere Aufnahmen des Jagpanther in guter Qualität. Detailaufnahmen kommen leider etwas zu kurz. Ich hätte mir mehr Informationen zu Tarnanstrichen gewünscht. Aufgrund des günstigen Preises dennoch als Hilfe zum Bau des Jagdpanthers geeignet. Bei Bedarf werde ich auf weitere Bücher der Serie zurückgreifen.
