Dash to the Sea, November 1944 by David Pentland. As allied forces pressed inland towards Caen, the 21st panzer Division launched a counterattack along a narrow three mile corridor between the Canadians on Juno beach and the British on Sword. the charge led by fifty tanks of 22nd panzer regiment and supporting Panzer grenadiers was engaged on its eastern flank by heavy British anti tank fire and the bulk of the force was pinned down or destroyed. ultimately only six PZ IVs and a company of infantry mannered to reach the coast at lion sur mer. their stay however was short lived and within a few hours the arrival of the transports and gliders of the British 6th Airborne directly overhead forced the entire division to pull back for fear of being trapped. |
Operation Winter Tempest by David Pentland. Panzer IVF2 tanks of 6th Panzer Division, Panzer Armee Hoth, attempt to fight their way through to the beleaguered Sixth Army at Stalingrad, 12th December 1942.

The Panzer Count by David Pentland. Generalleutnant Hyazinth Graf Strachwitz von Gross-Zeuche und Camminetz, (nicknamed The Panzer Count), in the vanguard of Panzer Regiment Gross Deutchlands thrust towards Belogrod. One of the most spectacular armour commanders of all time he led his mixed force of PzIVs and Tiger 1s on a series of successful battles to form a northern pincer around Kharkov, vital to the retaking of the city. For his exploits he was awarded the swords to his Knights Cross. |
Battle on the Volga, Stalingrad, Southern Russia, 30th September 1942 by David Pentland. Germany Infantry assault troops and PzIV tank of the 24th Panzer Division are counterattacked by Soviet riflemen of General Chuikovs 62nd Army as they push towards the Red October factory works. |

Oberfeldwebel Albert Kerscher, commander of 2nd company 511 Heavy Tank Battalion aided by a Panzer IV, two Hetzers, a Kingtiger and a Pak gun, successfully defended against concerted Soviet air and armoured attacks, his action buying valuable time for the evacuation of German wounded from Pilau and scoring his 100th victory in the process. |

Panzer IV Heavy Tank. In continuous production from 1936 until 1945, the Panzer IV was the armoured workhorse of the German Army in the Second World War. Designed originally as a heavy support tank for its stable mate, the lighter Mark III in the Panzer divisions, it became one of the key instruments of the Blitzkrieg victories, in the early war years. This programme traces the long history of this most versatile of German tanks, and documents a combat career that finally ended with the destruction of the last Mark IVs in Syrian service by the Israeli Army on the Golan Heights in 1967. |
Panzer - Germanys Ultimate War Machine. During WW2, the need for capable and qualified crewmen to work with and maintain the equipment became vital. In order to keep up with the demands of warfare, soldiers and engineers were educated partly with training films. This programme shows footage of the Tiger tanks during Operation Citadel, as well as edited highlights of two German Army training films from late 1943 and mid 1944. Including two major military productions, the first of these films was produced to show how to convert the Panther tank, allowing it to successfully deal with the extensive Soviet defences like those it encountered at its debut in Kursk. The second film from 1944, made for the benefit of personnel serving in Sdkfz 251 Ds and the Panzerjaeger IV, may well be the only footage of this type to survive the war. Finally there are sequences showing such machines as the late Model Brummbaer which round off this fascinating assemblage of unique footage of German armoured fighting vehicles from the latter part of WW2. |
The Panzer - The Story of Adolf Hitlers Infamous Panzer Divisions Battle tanks decided many battles during the Second World War. Some 25,000 were produced in Germany and some 250,000 by the Allies during the conflict. Yet despite overwhelming odds, the German Panzer Divisions became legendary. Just as a cavalryman becomes attached to his horse, the Panzer crews still vividly remember their mechanical mounts, the sounds they produced, the smell of fuel and oil, the effects they had on the enemy and also the fact that the Panzer could become a steel coffin in one blazing moment. |
