Hitler's Great Panzer Heist: Germany's Foreign Armor in Action 1939-45 hardcover

The prowess of the German panzers is the stuff of legend, but it is not generally known that Hitler stole thousands of British, Czech, French, Italian, Polish, and Soviet tanks and armored fighting vehicles to feed his war machine.
