Hold the Westwall: The History of Panzer Brigade 105, September 1944

This is the first book in English on Germany's failed experiment with independent armored brigades in World War II. Hassler offers a dramatic story of Panzer Brigade 105, one of ten such units, and its formation, deployment (including its defense of the Siegfried Line), and ultimate destruction. The book presents American accounts of what it was like to fight the brigade and relies heavily on primary documents and interviews.
