Historical Context

The goal of this website is to publish historical research about the armored forces of the Third Reich and related topics. While the focus of the website is on the military history, this history is intrinsically linked to genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed by the Third Reich. As a result, some articles will contain illustrations that include imagery such as the swastika and SS runes.

The purpose of displaying these images is not to idolize the Third Reich, but only to present a full picture of history. It is important for students of the armed forces of the Third Reich to familiarize themselves with the active participation in the atrocities played not only by the SS, but also by the armed forces as a whole, including the armored forces. Readers are encouraged to read the article on German armored unit atrocities for an introduction to this subject.

Contact

You are welcome to contact me by e-mail at webmaster@panzerworld.com. Before you do so, however, please note the following.

Questions specific to this website and its contents are very welcome. For more general questions about Second World War armor consider asking on an online forum first. Because my time is limited, answering general questions would allow me less time for updating the website. By asking your question on a forum, not only will you get a response sooner and from a wider range of people, but the answer will also be available to other people.
