A stunning look at World War II from the other side.... From the turret of a German tank, Colonel Hans von Luck commanded Rommel's 7th and then 21st Panzer Division. El Alamein, Kasserine Pass, Poland, Belgium, Normandy on D-Day, the disastrous Russian front - von Luck fought there with some of the best soldiers in the world. German soldiers. Awarded the German Cross in Gold and the Knight's Cross, von Luck writes as an officer and a gentleman. Told with the vivid detail of an impassioned eyewitness, his rare and moving memoir has become a classic in the literature of World War II, a first-person chronicle of the glory - and the inevitable tragedy - of a superb soldier fighting Hitler's war.

If you could sum up Panzer Commander in three words, what would they be?

Fascinating and understated, One can't help liking von Luck, a gentleman in a time when it was very difficult. The very definition of a good man.

What didn’t you like about Bronson Pinchot’s performance?

mispronunciation of names and general lacklustre performance. Why use a French speaker to tell a German's story

Any additional comments?

This is a tremendous tale of an amazing life, constantly surprising, von Luck must have been a remarkable character

Great story but a shame about the reader

An honest and realistic account of life as an officer in the German army.
At times it is heart warming and occasionally heart breaking as the author focuses on the humanity (not glory) of war.

Overall a fabulous story by a highly decorated soldier - only let down by the pantomime narration...

A touching and compelling story
