Coming in late October

Researched and written by Hilary Doyle, this completely revised edition of Panzer Tracts No.5-1 Panther Ausf.D is a significant update to the original 2003 volume. While the first edition was closely aligned with Panther Tank: The Quest for Combat Supremacy, this 2025 version is the most authoritative single-volume reference on the Panther Ausf.D to date.

As with all Panzer Tracts titles, this edition is based solely on original wartime documents, factory records, and in-depth examination of surviving vehicles. No speculation—just hard facts, carefully interpreted.

This upgraded edition includes:

• 124 pages of thoroughly updated content (52 more than the original), packed with newly uncovered technical and historical data.

• 102 large, high-resolution photographs, 62 of which are newly added, reproduced at significantly improved quality.

• 40 pages of detailed 1:35, 1:20, and 1:10 scale CAD drawings, precisely dimensioned to the three Panther manufacturers’ original factory tolerances and assembly standards. These are the most accurate Panther Ausf.D drawings published to date.

The book delivers a comprehensive study of the Panther Ausf.D’s development, from early Versuchs-Serie prototypes through to the end of Ausf.D production. It includes a full chronology of technical changes, design refinements, and modifications made during its service life, supported by tables, annotations, and newly clarified factory records. A quick-reference summary table of all key changes is handily printed on the back cover.

Whether you are a military historian, scale modeller, or technical researcher, this revised Panzer Tracts No.5-1 is an essential addition to your Panther library—and a vital tool in understanding the origins of one of the most influential tanks of the Second World War.

Please note: Because of the well-known volatility in the exchange rate and tariff situation, the price quoted below is an estimate, and is subject to change before the books are delivered in the last quarter of 2025.
