On 22nd January Danny Holmes, whose speciality is German
Military History – 1st and 2nd World Wars, gave a two hour presentation on the “History
of the Panzers in the Wehrmacht” from inception in the First World War to the end of the Second World
War. His talk was illustrated by numerous photographs rarely seen. His research had concluded
that one of the major weaknesses with the production of Panzers in the Second World war, was the
tendency to continually upgrade tanks both in size and firepower to the extend they became almost
unwieldy. Had the Germans concentrated on producing a main battle tank as the Russians did they
may have fared better. The talk was much enjoyed and Danny was thanked for his kindness in taking the time to come and present. |
