Dennis Oliver's book is a practical modelling guide with enough operational history to explain the vehicles being reproduced. It covers the German Army and Waffen-SS in Normandy during the summer of 1944, including the organization and tank strength of Panzer Lehr's units. The extracted figures show Panzer IV deliveries, transfers, and company allocations immediately before the invasion. They also support the larger point that the Panzer IV, rather than the more famous Panther or Tiger, performed much of Germany's armored fighting.
