From the first day of World War II to its bitter end, the German 35th Tank Regiment (Panzer-Regiment 35)--the most decorated armored regiment in the German Army--was in the thick of the Third Reich's war in Europe, rumbling into Poland in 1939, France in 1940, and Russia in 1941 and spending four brutal years on the Eastern Front. With muzzles blazing and tracks rattling, these brash panzer troops roared into battle wherever their commanders sent them--usually into the toughest situations imaginable. Knight's Cross Panzers captures the 35th's fighting spirit and combat prowess in the words of the men who led the crews, drove the tanks, and loaded the guns.
