Steven Zaloga does an awesome job of discussing the use of WWII bazookas against German tanks during the Battle of the Bulge, in particular using the engagement at the Krinkelt-Rocherath and the Lausdell crossroads as a way of illustrating both the use of the anti-armor weapons and the ability of the panzers even after they were hit. Full of useful information, Bazooka vs Panzer has info on both tyhe development of the Bazooka by the U.S. Army and the anti-tank measures developed by the Germans (although mostly in response to anti-tank rifles). A good book, it includes first-hand accounts of the fighting at the crossroads, original artwork, period photos, and maps. Another great Osprey book.
