Polish Armor of the Blitzkrieg

Published in 2012 by Osprey Publishing, an imprint of Bloomsbury, Polish Armor of the Blitzkrieg is a volume within the publisher's long-running New Vanguard series. This series was designed to provide concise, heavily illustrated technical overviews of military hardware, aiming to offer enthusiasts and historians accessible insight into specific armored vehicles and their combat roles. Jamie Prenatt authored this specific entry to address the often-overlooked equipment of the Polish forces during the 1939 defensive campaign against Germany.

The book utilizes a combination of archival photographs and color illustrations by artist Henry Morshead to detail the design, development, and operational performance of Polish tanks and armored cars. By examining the technical limitations and combat doctrine of the Polish military, Prenatt contextualizes how these assets fared against the rapid tactical innovations of the German Wehrmacht. It remains a standard reference work for those interested in the logistical and mechanical realities of early World War II armored warfare.
