During the Great War, tanks in the German Army merely played an anecdotal role. Due to the Treaty of Versailles restrictions, the first armoured forces were not organised (secretly) until 1933.
The existence of the first three Panzerdivisionen of the new German Army was officially revealed in 1935. The armoured troops were an independent branch of the Army, with their command; this allowed the concentration of tanks in divisions so that units could have significant strategic deployment. General Heinz Guderian forged both words: Panzerwaffe to refer to the armoured force and Panzertruppen to identify the elite armoured troops which would conquer half of Europe in the following years.
The evolution of the camouflage schemes painted in tanks and vehicles of German armoured units was analysed in the book along with the organisation of the German units during WWI and WWII and the interwar period.
