Horst Scheibert served in a German armoured formation in the Wehrmacht in the Second World War.
In the postwar period, he served with the Bundeswehr reaching the rank of brigadier.
He wrote many German language books on Second World War armour. Many of his books were subsequently translated into English and published by an American publisher, Schiffer Publishing.
I have the English version of this book and it is a must-have for Panzer lovers. Some great pictures of Panthers, Tigers, King Tigers and all your other favorite German tanks. Not much interesting or insightful text, but you won't see these pictures anywhere else.
