Full Description
This book presents the history of Oberstleutnant Wilhelm Ritter von Thoma's units in the Spanish Civil War, from the tank crews to the infantry, and specialties.
In October 1936 two German ships arrived in Spain loaded with a Panzer I company and all the services and personnel to establish Franco's army's first armored unit, the so-called Panzer-Gruppe Drohne.
