Panzers in the Sand: The History of Panzer-Regiment 5, Vol. 1, 1935-41: The History of Panzer-Regiment 5, 1935-41

In September 1939, the tanks of Panzer-Regiment 5 swept into Poland, a devastating part of the German blitzkrieg that opened World War II with a terrifying display of military force. The following spring, the regiment rumbled across France, again showing the destructive power of the panzer. But the units greatest fame would come in the North African desert, where Panzer-Regiment 5 joined Erwin Rommels vaunted Afrika Korps as it battled the British back and forth beneath the scorching sun of Libya and Egypt.
