The 35th Tank Regiment of the 4th German Division is the most famous tank unit of the Wehrmacht, awarded many awards. Its soldiers and officers took part in the bloody battles waged by the Third Reich, capturing European countries. They fought in Poland, France, and then on the territory of the Soviet Union, ending their journey on the ruins of Hitler’s “Greater Germany” in May 1945. Memories of veterans of the 35th regiment make it possible to plunge into the atmosphere of battles and front-line life, to see the war from the perspective soldiers' "trench truth" and from the height of understanding of what is happening by regiment and division commanders. The book is illustrated with maps, the appendix provides a complete list of battles and operations in which the 35th regiment operated.
