    Yes, I bought it several years ago. It gives very detailed descriptions and explanations about small unit tactics employed by the Panzerwaffe, and includes illustrations from original tactical manuals to support the text. However, I bought it mostly for the photo content, which is superb. Schneider is also the author of the two massive photo collections on Tigers, also published by J.J. Fedorowicz (and now available in softcover), so he has access to good photo resources. In addition to photos of panzers in combat and other operations, there are lots of photos taken during the times between combat, including maintenance, repair, reprovisioning, and with crews. Look around the various online used-book outlets - abebooks.com has one listed at US$79 (excluding shipping).
