Reseña del editor:

* Classic WWII unit history of the 5th SS Panzer Regiment, part of the 5th SS Panzer Division `Viking' The unique 5th SS Panzer Division was made up largely of volunteers from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, the Netherlands, and Belgium. During the course of World War II, the division progressed from a motorised infantry division to a Panzer division and served on the Eastern Front from 1942 to the end of the war, including actions at Kharkav and Warsaw. It surrendered in May 1945 to the advancing American forces in Austria. Produced now for the first time in English and packed with information and original photographs, Viking Panzers draws heavily from the eyewitness testimonies of the 5th's members, showing their gruelling experience of the war, and providing a unique perspective on a key aspect of armoured warfare during this bitter conflict. About the Author Ewald Klapdor served with the 5th SS Panzer Division"Viking" in World War II. He has written several other books, in German, on panzer combat in World War II. He lives in Germany.
