The Tiger and Panther tank from World War II are probably some of the most well known tanks of the war, and many books have been written about them, but it was the Panzer IV that was the backbone of the German Panzer arm, and the most numerous tank that the Allied tankers fought.This book which is obviously a labour of love from the author, and who lived in close distance to the former "Nibelungenwerk"( and has been researching the topic for years) has produced a great book on the factory that built the Panzer IV.In 1939 the Germans gave the factory the designation "toy factory" to cover the real purpose for the sprawling complex that it would grow into. The book which covers tank production in St Valentin, a small village that became one of the most important armament places in Hitler's Germany, grew from 1941 - 1945 to become the biggest manufacturer of the Panzerkampfwagen IV.However it also repaired the more serious damage to the Panzer IVs sent back from the front, outfitted the Ferdinands and turned them into the Elephant,made the Jagdpanzer IV, and finally the mighty Jagdtiger. as well as completing armoured rail cars.There are numerous pictures of the production lines, charts on production numbers, photos of the more prominent Nazis visiting the factory, the effect of bombing raids by the allies and much more.It also covers forced labour and prison camps, workforce, plant facilities, and the St Valentine satellite concentration camp, and working conditions.The book is well written, interesting and full of facts on tank production and processes and would appeal to any armour buff that had an interest in how the Germans manufactured and supplied their tanks to the frontline units.Well worth the money

Interesting book on Germany's wartime tank production.There's a lot of information to digest.

Great book...just as advertised

Very informative. a good buy

Looking for information about WW2 industrial activity, I am impressed with the quantity and the accuracy of details.Thanks to the author for his work.

Indeed, I had hoped this book would have contained more detailed information on Dr. Ferdinand Porsche's heavy tank designs, especially his take on the legendary "Tiger".Very short overviews on few prototypes, so-called "special-purpose vehicle production/conversion" and planned Panther (II) and Tiger II production were all very interesting, but way too brief - especially when the author had an access to many valuable archives and collections (cited throughout the book). This includes official reports/documents on technical development, business production and board of directors meetings. For example on the page 197: "completion of tanks (Porsche Tiger) with turrets can be documented up to chassis number 150 007" - but no further information is given (hint to the author: chassis and turret numbers are quite important to the panzer enthusiasts).And how about the VK.4502(P)? According to Doyle, three prototypes were built at Nibelungenwerk but the author mentions nothing about them. The Jagdtiger 8.8 cm still remains as a mystery, and there's also reference to "one additional Jagdtiger completed under the supervision of the Soviet occupation forces" - again, no further info on this vehicle. This makes me wonder, were the last production reports were completely destroyed/captured by the Soviet forces?The book has extensive chapters on forced labour, but there's no mention how Jagdtiger's mechanical problems were suspected as sabotage, done by "foreign workers" (further reading in "Combat History of German Heavy Anti-Tank Unit 653" by Karlheinz Munch).I hope we can get to see a volume II (or revised and extended ed.) some day, including all the pictures from the original German language edition(s) and hopefully some heavier data on the tank production. Otherwise, the book is really beautifully done, satin-like pages with some intriguing (but a bit grainy, dark) photographs.Overall: "OKH Toy Factory: The Nibelungenwerk: Tank Production in St. Valentin" has a lot of interesting trivia and bits... making hungry for more.

I just finished reading this book...very enjoyable.The pictures leave a bit to be desired...many are dark and a little on the small side.If you are a German Armour fan this book is for you.
