The German Jagdpanther and Soviet SU-100, two turretless tank destroyers that represented very different design and tactical philosophies, clashed as the two sides contested Hungary's vital oil resources in March 1945. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork, this engaging study casts new light on the background and details of this duel in the closing weeks of World War II in Europe.

I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in these vehicles and Eastern Front operations.
