This book, illustrated with about 320 contemporary photographs (most of them previously unpublished), covers the story of the Niebelungenwerk, for safety reasons also called "Spielwarenfabrik“. It was located in Lower Austria and was the most important manufacturer of the Panzer IV tank in WW2 and, for other reasons, had a special standing among the tank manufacturers. This book describes the construction of the plant and of the surrounding workman-quarters. In further chapters the labor conditions, the tanks built and the air raids on the plant are described. The title will also be abailable in Englisch in the spring of 2012!
