Major General of the Waffen-SS A.D. Kurt Meyer, once famously known as "Panzer Meyer" on the front lines of World War II, began writing this gripping account during his long years of captivity and imprisonment in Canada. It not only captures the intense atmosphere of the front, but also reflects the war and troop history of his units. This work is also a treasure trove of practical tank tactics and leadership skills at the lower and middle command levels. At the same time, it preserves for future generations the struggles and suffering of a man who is among the most highly decorated and distinguished soldier figures of World War II.
