Riassunto

Dive deep into the fascinating world of German tanks in this definitive textbook about the Leopard 1 and 2. Known as one of the most for their prominence in peacetime, there's more to these trusty machines than meets the eye. Follow them on their journey around the globe as we guide you through every combat mission ever ventured upon by the mighty machines. The wide range of conflicts they have been in creates a fascinating reading experience for history lovers and war fanatics.

Read in raw, uncut detail the savage battle reports from these fierce tanks as you're taken deep into each conflict they took part in. From being pitted against Bosnian Serb battle tanks to their involvement in the invasion of Kosovo, this book covers the complete combat operation history of the Leopard 1 and Leopard 2. Also, their deployments in more modern times are discussed, with them being used to fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan and ISIS in Syria. The amount of missions these tanks have embarked upon is endless, and you will learn about them all in this definitive book.

This is the only book of its kind. A one-off concise guide outlining everything you would ever need to know about the Leopard 1 and 2. First, we go into the history behind the German panzers from its beginnings in World War I as well as an insight into all the upgrades and user states. In the conclusion, we explore the significance of the Leopard tanks in modern warfare. Finally, in the afterword, Danish tank expert Thomas Antonsen graces us with a few thoughts. Brimming with umpteen references and sources, this is one book tank enthusiasts don't want to miss out on.

Leopard 1 and 2 main battle tanks took part in combat operations under the flag of Canada, Turkey, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark.
