After a short history of the tank as a weapon of war, the author studies several tactical aspects such as "Armour on the Offensive", "The Encirclement of the Enemy", "Armour and Infantry" and "Tank against Thank". Hei pays particular attention to the first year of "Operation Barbarossa", using the files of the 2nd Panzer Army whose commander, Guderian, could be described as the "father" of the German armoured force.
