Kanonenfieber - Unleash 'Panzerhenker' Single
As part of their recently announced sophomore album Die Urkatastrophe, due on September 20 via Century Media Records, the Germans Kanonenfieber offer in listening a brand new single titled "Panzerhenker".
Kanonenfieber on "Panzerhenker":
"The Battle of Cambrai took place from November 20 to 30, 1917 and marked the first offensive in which tanks played a decisive role in the attack strategy. The British carried out the attack with the support of battle and auxiliary tanks as well as an intensive barrage. The offensive was halted by German counterattacks. With the help of anti-tank field guns the Germans managed to take out a large number of the British tanks. J. Krüger, who was known as the ‘Panzerhenker’ (Tankslayer / Tank Executioner), played an important role in this. Even when his battery was wiped out, Krüger remained as the last survivor at a field gun and destroyed up to 16 of the approaching tanks. When enemy assault troops penetrated his positions, he attacked with a pistol and was eventually wounded and captured."
