{"product_id":"9781472812513","title":"Bazooka vs Panzer: Battle of the Bulge 1944","description":"World War II saw tanks assume a dominant role in warfare, capable of tearing through the enemy lines if left unchecked. To combat the threat posed by these armoured behemoths the United States developed the M1 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher, better known as the Bazooka. First employed in combat during 1942, the weapon required a great deal of skill and courage to use effectively. By late 1944 it was a mainstay of the US infantry's anti-tank capabilities, alongside towed weapons, anti-tank grenades and other longer-established measures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on the savage close-quarters fighting between Germany's armoured divisions and the US infantry during the Battle of the Bulge, Steven Zaloga's absorbing study compares and assesses the strengths and limitations of the cutting-edge technology used by both sides. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and explosive battle reports, this volume casts new light on the evolving nature of infantry-versus-tank combat in the closing months of World War II.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181578666224,"sku":"9781472812513","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472812513_p0.jpg?v=1763598805","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472812513","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
