Mushroom Green Series 4101 - Csaba Becze - Magyar Steel (2007).jpg

This book tells the story, for the first time in English, of Hungarian armour operations during World War II. Using both Hungarian-designed and -built armoured vehicles and German ones, the Hungarian forces fought bravely on the Eastern Front against overwhelming odds. Their German "allies" were not always supportive or friendly! This is the story of Magyar Steel - a rarely documented aspect of World War Two tank warfare. It is illustrated with rare wartime photographs, plus colour photographs of the few surviving Hungarian AFVs of the period, and computer generated artwork showing camouflage and markings. It is essential reading for military historians, tank and AFV enthusiasts and scale modellers.

Sd.Kfz. 7 Mittlerer Zugkraftwagen 8t – niemieckie ciągnik artyleryjski z okresu II wojny światowej

Historia

W 1928 roku w zakładach Krauss-Maffei AG w Monachium-Allach opracowano półgąsienicowego ciągnik artyleryjski, który oznaczenie M5, wobec jednak zakazu wynikającego z Traktatu Wersalskiego nie rozpoczęto jego produkcji. Dopiero w 1933 roku na zlecenie Waffenamt ponownie opracowano model ciągnika artyleryjskiego przeznaczonego do holowania i przewozu obsługi dział oznaczony jako M7. Model ten zyskał aprobatę Waffenamtu i w 1934 roku rozpoczęto jego produkcję seryjną, wtedy też został oznaczony jako Sd.Kfz. 7.

W 1939 roku był już produkowany na dużą skalę w kilku zakładach, także na licencji we Włoszech, gdzie był oznaczony jako Semincingolato Breda Tipo 61. W 1939 roku opracowano także odmianę Sd.Kfz. 7 Gepanzerte Zugkraftwagen 8t, która miała opancerzoną kabinę kierowcy. Produkcja Sd.Kfz. 7 trwała do 1945 roku i łącznie wyprodukowano ponad 12.100 pojazdów tego typu.

Na podwoziu tego ciągnika budowano również pojazdy o innym przeznaczeniu:

Sd.Kfz. 7/1 2cm Flakvierling 38 auf Selbstfahrlafette – samobieżne działo przeciwlotnicze uzbrojone w poczwórnie sprzężone działko przeciwlotnicze kal. 20 mm
Sd.Kfz. 7/2 Selbstfahrlafette mit 3,7cm FlaK 36 – samobieżne działo przeciwlotnicze uzbrojone w armatę przeciwlotniczą kal. 37 mm
Sd.Kfz. 7/5 7.62cm(r) Pak auf Zugkraftwagen 8t – samobieżne działo przeciwpancerne uzbrojone w armatę przeciwpancerną PaK 36(r) kal. 76,2 mm
Sd.Kfz. 7/6 FlaKmeßtruppkraftwagen – pojazd obserwacyjny artylerii przeciwlotniczej wyposażony w radar typu AA
Sd.Kfz.7/9 Feuerleitpanzerfahrzeug für V-2 Raketen auf Zugkraftwagen 8t – pojazd dowodzenia obsługi wyrzutni rakiet V-2

Służba

Ciągniki artyleryjskie Sd.Kfz. 7 od 1934 roku były wprowadzenie do wyposażenia pułków artylerii przeciwlotniczej i to zarówno wojsk lądowych jaki i Luftwaffe, holowały one działa o kalibrze od 37 do 88 mm. Wersja ciągnika z opancerzoną kabiną została użyta do holowania dział przeciwlotniczych Flak 18 kal. 88 mm. Ciągniki w armii niemieckiej były używane do końca II wojny światowej.

Ciągniki Sd.Kfz. 7 znalazły się także na wyposażeniu armii bułgarskiej oraz w armii włoskiej, gdzie używano ciągników licencyjnych Semincingolato Breda Tipo 61.

Ciągniki tego typu zakupiła również Brazylia, lecz z zamówionych 32 sztuk do 1941 roku dostarczono tylko pięć. Używano ich tam do 1945 roku, a następnie wycofano z użycia wobec braku części zamiennych.

Concord - Armor At War 7033 - Robert Michulec - Pa nzer-Division 1935 - 1945 (1); The Early Years 193 5-1941 (2000).jpg

Tanks - AFV Armoured Fighti... - Concord - Armor At War 7033 - Robert Michule...935 - 1945 1 The Early Years 1935-1941 2000.jpg

This is the first volume of a 3-volume series on the German Panzer-Divisions, that follows their creation in 1935 up until end of 1941, after the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa.

The first Panzer-Divisions were formed in 1935, men were drawn from the Kavallerie-Divisions. At the outbreak of WWII, each Panzer-Division averaged 350 tanks and no less than 12000 men. The Germans fielded 2511 tanks during the invasion of Poland, and the blitzkrieg tactics owed much to the speed of the Panzer-Divisions. Thereafter, the Panzer-Divisions bore the blunt of the heavy fighting at all fronts.

This book starts with the training of the armored forces and journeys into Poland, Norway, France, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Greece, and finally Soviet Union with the Panzer-Divisions. The author has collected many unpublished photos from Eastern Europe and private collection, and there are lots of interesting and rare vehicles from the German armor arsenal featured in this book.

The first Panzer training unit. Kraftfahrlehrkommando Zossen. was formed on November I. 1933. Two years later, in August 1935. trial exercises for the first Panzer-Division were conducted in the German Army. At this time, based on theory, strength of the Division was 12.953 men with 4.025 wheeled and 4X1 tracked vehieles. This look plaee only five years after the development Kleintraktor. forerunner Of the P/.Kpfw.l. which was to become the first mass produced tank for the German Army. It would be important to stress, however, that German doctrine w as based on the concepts of armored warfare then being promoted by pioneers such as J.F.C. Fuller of Great Britain and Charles de Gaulle of France. In his memoirs. Guderian also credits the work of Ludwig von Eimannsberger, a leading Austrian tank expert, published in 1934.
Formation of the next two Pan/er-Pivisions followed quickly after, on October 15. 1935. Initially, men lor these units came from tile Kavallerie-Divisions. The choice of these divisions and not the Infanierie-Divisions. was logical and obvious. The new Panzer-Divisions were to act with speed, thus the cadres would best be formed with Kavallerie officers and NCOs. who were alrcad) trained to employ the same type of tactics. Meanwhile, in other armies, tanks would continue to be developed to support ir.fantrv as mobile artillery.

Tanks - AFV Armoured Fighti... - Concord - Armor At War 7034 - Robert Michule...935-1945 2 The Eastern Front 1941-1943 2001.jpg

The second volume in our Panzer-Division series. This book covers the German assault on Russia in June 1941 up till end of 1943, after the Battle of Kursk. As usual, the author Robert Michulec traveled around Europe, went through archives and private collections and brings us many unpublished photos.

This book starts off with the invasion of Russia, and then quickly moves on to Operation Typhoon, the assault on Moscow. The bitter Russian winter of 1941-42 caught the ill prepared Germans off guard. Spring came and the muddy Russian road system gave the panzers a lot of headaches. In 1942, the German panzers continue the advance to the Caucasus and the Russian steppes. The battle for Stalingrad was well covered in the book, and the Tigers and Panthers started to appear in the Eastern Front in 1942. The Battle of Kursk was the turning point for the Germans, and many photos are devoted to the great tanks that participated in this battle, such as Tiger, Pz.IV, Marder III, Wespe.

Losses suffered by the Panzer-Divisions during die very long campaign during the lasl part of 1943 and the turn of 1944 were \ery high, higher in fact than during Operation 'Citadel'. Retreating from Russia, the Panzer-Divisions lost not only those vehicles totally written off in combat, but also most of the damaged ones that could not be retrieved and repaired as the battlefield belonged to the enemy. On the Italian Front, the controlled withdrawal situation made recovery easier than on the Eastern Front as massive Soviet attacks often resulted in German positions being overrun.

Concord - Armour at war 7021 - Tom Cockle - Armor of the Deutsches Afrikakorps (2001).jpg

In early February 1941, the Italian Army was on the brink of" a disastrous defeat in North Africa. The British Army had been steadily pushing them back from Egypt since 9 December 1940 and on 5 February had cut off their retreat along the coastal road at Beda Fomm. Within two days, their army lay shattered with only 7.000 weak and demoralized troops barring the way to a British advance into Tripolifania. The British had destroyed an Italian Army of four corps, capturing 130,000 prisoners, 400 tanks and about 1.300 guns against the loss of 500 killed, 1373 wounded and 55 missing.

Crowood - Europa Militaria 28 - Hans Halberstadt - Abrams Company (1999).jpg

The tactical debut of the American M1 Abrams main battle tank in NATO exercises in 1982 is said by experts to have been a turning point in armoured warfare: the Abrams proved itself so superior to the opposition in these exercises that the rule book had to be rewritten. In the Gulf War of February 1991, the developed M1A1 variant completely outclassed the Soviet equipment of the Iraqi army, routinely destroying enemy tanks at three kilometres' range. Its thermal imaging sights, laser rangefinder, and fire control computer, coupled with its firepower and state-of-the-art composite armour made it an irresistible opponent. This volume provides an insight into the Abrams, its crew and its operations, illustrated with colour photographs.

Janusz Piekalkiewicz - Tank War 1939-45 (1986).jpg

A cold wind drove along the snowflakes and dark clouds covered the sky outside Hradcany Castle in Prague, the residence of Dr. Emil Hacha, the president of the Czechoslovakian republic, as armored reconnaissance cars of the German 4th Infantry Division rolled up to the gates. It was 8:45 A.M. on 15 March 1939. By noon General von Schwcdlcr, the commander of IV Corps based in Dresden, and his energetic chief of staff General Model, had arrived at the same spot despite the ice-covered roads. At 4:00 P.M. Hitler, accompanied by an SS squad, arrived at Hradcany Castle in his heavy Mercedes, having driven there from Dresden.
The occupation of Czechoslovakia not only gave Hitler strategic advantages in his planned attack on Poland, but also brought crucial reinforcements to the German panzer arm, which now ac quired several hundred sturdy and well-armed Czech tanks highly respected by military experts. Previously the German panzer divisions had been rather weakly armed, mainly with two types of light tank known as Panzer I and II (short for Panzerkampfwagen I and II, often designated PzKpfw I and II).
The tank was first deployed in World War I, and its aim was to eliminate once and for all the type of paralysis that developed in trench warfare. A tank could face fire from machine guns and cannon and yet keep moving, mowing down the barbed wire barricades of the no-man's-land and rolling over trenches Strategists valued its mobile capability more than its fire-power.

In the mid-1970s the Leopard 1 MBT had replaced the M 47 completely and the M 48 partitally. In the shadow of the Leopard 2 MBT development the Leopard 1 was upgraded with add-on-armour, PZB 200 targeting sight and the fire-controle system of the Loepard 2. These measures allowed the Loepard 1 tanks' use into the next millenium. As late as 2003 the Leopard 1's history within the German Army ended - the Leopard 2 had already been in service for 24 years at that date! Dual English & German text.

Osprey - Modelling 28 - Alex Clark - Modelling the Tiger Tank in 1-72 Scale (2006).jpg

The Tiger tank is probably the most famous tank of World War II. Both the Tiger I and its successor, the Tiger II, were used as bases for other German vehicles. This book covers a wide range of vehicles based on the chassis of the Tiger I and II tanks in 1/72 scale. It provides a detailed guide to modelling the basic tank versions as well as the Sturmmorser Sturmtiger (Tiger I variant), Jagdtiger (Tiger II variant) and the Panzerjager Tiger (P) Elefant tank destroyer. A variety of camouflage schemes are described in depth, and the text covers photo-etched parts, resin aftermarket sets, scratch-building, and the use of figures and groundwork.

Crowood - Hans Halberstadt - Inside The Great Tank s (1998).jpg

Hans Halberstadt, please make more books like these! This book was perhaps one of the first books to introduce the Jacques Littlefield collection, the worlds largest privately owned armor vehicle collection with over 220 tanks/vehicles. He passed in 2009, but created the MVTF (Military Vehicle Technology Foundation). You can see some of the tanks used in this book from this fantastic collection - stop by if you're in the San Francisco area. It's certainly on my bucket list.

In this book you'll find photos of the Matilda, Stuart, Sherman, Hetzer, T-34/85, T-55, M-60, M551, T-72 a few more, and of course, the M-1. High glossy paper, superb photos, cut aways, spotlessly restored tanks inside and out. Photos of the engines, guns, controls, ammo, are there along with enough text to help beginners understand the who/what/where/whys of armored vehicles past to present. A few of the photos show the M-1 in the field - dirty, dusty, stains, chipped paint, kicking up dust - that's tanking!

This is not a comprehensive book of any one tank, nor does it really cover all of the great tanks, but the photos are so good, I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in armor. The only regret is that there are not more pages, more tanks shown. Hans, go back out there and get the rest of the vehicles from this collection!
