The book is basically divided into two parts: the theoretical composition of the 1944 model of the panzer regiment, its equipment and personnel, and secondly, individual chapters on the seventeen panzer units which saw service in Normandy. In addition, the book contrasts the scenes of the fighting that raged in the countryside and villages of this part of France with comparison photographs of the battleground as it is today. Research for this book also resulted in the discovery of the location of the grave of the most famous panzer commander, formerly listed as missing in action, when a Normandy roadside revealed its secret in 1983 as the last resting place of the victor of Villers-Bocage, Michael Wittmann Kampvogsopstilling, ORBAT; Panserenheder; Pansertaktik; Kampeksercits; Taktisk niveau; Pas de Calais; Caen; Falaise; Falaise-lommen; Tigertanks; Pansrede enheder; Brtiske hær, infanteri; Tilbagetog ; Tanks; 22. britiske panserbrigade; 22.
