Panzer Commander: The Memoirs of Colonel Hans Von Luck

In 1939, Hans von Luck’s motorized unit was one of the first to cross the frontier into Poland, marking the start of WWII. Over the next six years he was constantly in action in every major theatre of the war, and got to know almost every German commander of note. Told with the vivid detail of an impassioned witness, his memoirs have become a classic in the literature of the Second World War. ‘Well and vividly written…My father thought very highly of Colonel von Luck as a man and soldier’ – Manfred Rommel.
