Heinz Guderian's Panzer Leader has been a great treat to me, but I've become wary of the author's apologism, especially upon having heard about his failures that he doesn't like mentioning, especially his supposed antagonism towards everyone. Anyway, I really liked reading about the finer points of WW2 strategy and tactics, especially tank warfare, and I wonder if there's a book which contrasts Guderian's memoirs, is based on them, or offers a similarly good, intricate experience, that I could get into. I did check the masterlist and the titles are great or I anticipate them heavily, but have been also looking for something more specialized.
You have to be a bit careful regarding apologism with Hans von Luck as well, but his Panzer Commander is an interesting read as a counterpart to Guderian's work. He served all over Europe--Poland, France, North Africa, Russia, Italy, and back to France for Normandy and Falaise. It has more than a whiff of the "Clean Wehrmacht" about it, but it does offer an insight into another aspect of armored warfare in WWII.
Zhukov's memoirs seem like the obvious choice. There are a number of decent English translations. For something closer to the trenches, so to speak, I have heard very good things about Dmitri Loza's memoirs, Commanding the Red Army's Sherman Tanks, and enjoyed reading an interview with Loza on iremember.ru. This shines light on a perhaps less-remembered portion of the war in the East. In fact, iremember.ru is a fine resource, and also free!
For the dastardly Hun, then I can also recommend Otto Carius's Tigers in the Mud. Carius was the second-highest/possibly highest scoring tank ace in the German Army, and went on to become a pharmacist. He only died in January, actually.
I have one further recommendation, with caveats:
Leon Degrelle's Campaign in Russia: The Waffen-SS on the Eastern Front. Now, this will tell you nothing worth knowing about tactics, warcrimes, etc, but it will give you an insight into the mind of a Waffen-SS officer and how they thought. Just remember who's writing it! It's apologetics and full of bias.
Paul Carrell wrote several books about German campaigns. I've only read The Foxes of the Desert about the Axis perscepctive of the North African campaign. A rollicking good read, but its heavily biased towards the old "Us Germans were only defeated by superior numbers" schtick. Carrell was also quite a high-ranker in the Nazi Party and guilty of his fair share of crimes against humanity (though he changed his name after the war and was never tried for anything). Still, not bad books.
Lost memories by Erich Manstein is a good book. Remember that the germands were try to clean up their image after the war
I'd recommend the book "Panzer Battles" by Maj Gen F W von Mellenthin on the use of German Panzer forces in the Soviet Union. I always recommend this before the more popular work "Panzer Leader" by Guderian. Von Mellenthin was a field commander as opposed to Guderian who was a Staff Officer, so the first lived it from the front line.
"The Rommel papers" can also give you a very good insight into commanding a Panzer unit and its tactics. You can see Rommel's early considerations of this type of warfare during the invasion of France and its subsequent evolution.
Otto Henning's Panzer Leader Memoirs of an Armoured Car Commander, 1944-1945 was a good read. Interesting insights into workings of German armoured reconnaissance.
You wish to read Rommel's book, i believe it was called either Tank Tactics or Infantry Tactics.
There was a recent translation of Hermann Balck's Ordnung im Chaos (Order in Chaos). Balck was a Panzer divisional commander in Italy, the Eastern Front, and near the Ruhr. He's a bit more self-criticizing, but he also perpetuates the Clean Wehrmacht myth. The editor does a good job pointing out his inconsistencies and other interesting facts in the footnotes so be sure not to miss those.
