The story of one of Germanys most renowned panzer commanders Based on Eberbachs own papers and writings Details on the armored opponent the Allies faced after D-Day In July 1944, after fighting in most of Germanys campaigns--Poland, France in 1940, the Eastern Front--and then serving as Heinz Guderians troubleshooter, General of Panzer Troops Hans Eberbach took command of Panzer Group West near the vital city of Caen in the British sector of Normandy. During the next two months, Eberbach led German tanks against the Allied onslaught in an ultimately vain attempt to stop the breakthrough into Frances interior. Captured by the British at the end of August, Eberbach nevertheless secured himself a place among Germanys best panzer leaders.
