Panzerwrecks 09 - Lee Archer - Italy 1 (2009).jpg

As usual, the book consists of a series of period photographs taken of the subject matter involved, many of which are in large format, one to a page, and suitably captioned by the authors. Seems a simple idea, but one that is exceptionally well realised.

A quick glance through the pages will lead the casual browser to the conclusion that many of the photographs are not of the best quality, but this would miss the point of why these specific photographs have been included. Many of them were taken by ordinary servicemen using their own equipment, not professional journalists and photographers, at a time when personal cameras were something of a rarity. As such, they represent our best opportunity to see these wrecks in their true aspect, before they were picked clean, sanitised, or otherwise altered to better suit the needs of the press corps following the front line; a point particularly well illustrated by a photograph of a destroyed 2cm Flakvierling mounted onto a Mercedes-Benz 4500A. Some people would no doubt prefer that such photographs have no place in a title of this nature, and whilst they may have a point, if it's the only such photograph of that particular type of vehicle in that state, then I think its inclusion is justified.

The photographs begin with the almost obligatory shot of a burnt out Panther. Any casual browser will have his attention caught by this big cat, and will almost certainly delve further into the contents. This initial attention-getting photograph of the Panther is then followed by a number of pages showing destroyed Panzer IV's, information on which is scant according to the authors, although the US Officer responsible for the photographs seems to be keen on making sure he's included in the photographs. A few wrecked StuG.III's are then followed by another Panzer IV, this one ending up in a muddy bog, almost up to it's cupola. You can't but wonder is this is one of the ones that's since been pulled up and recovered...or is it still at the bottom of a bog in Italy? Anybody know of any Panzer IV's recovered from Italian bogs?

There's a photograph on page 12 of particular interest for me, having an interest in halftracks, consisting of two different vehicles pushed into a ditch alongside a road. At the front there's a late production variant Sd.Kfz.7 with a wooden rear body, whilst behind it there's a Sd.Kfz.10 with a widened rear bed prepared to mount a 2cm FlaK 38, although this is missing. I appears that both vehicles were being used as ordinary load carriers prior to being knocked out, and serves to illustrate just how wrong some modellers are when they insist that such and such a vehicle wasn't built for that purpose and only used for this purpose etc.! On the facing page there's a comprehensively wrecked 250/3 showing an internally mounted 'Kubelmast'...one of those huge telescopic radio masts.

Panzerwrecks 09 - Lee Archer - Italy 1 (2009).pdf

Back to the heavy armour and we're offered various Panzer IV's again...their number in this title perhaps being reflective of the numbers of these vehicles actually produced by Germany during WWII. One of them exhibits a particularly interesting field applied Zimmerit coating, which would look interesting on a model and no doubt draw some attention. Then we're back to halftracks and a 251/C looking almost complete except it's missing it's front wheels and lying on its side. Painted on it's rear doors is the large slogan 'Keep Off - Booby traps!', although since the logo is written vertically, it would appear that it was written before the vehicle was pushed onto its side? The booby traps were less than sensitive then? Or is it that many vehicles were marked thus to deter people from prising off souvenirs?

A wrecked Sd.Kfz.7 2cm Flakvierling with the side panels being constructed of something other than the normal mesh is shown on page 22, and also shows an unusual cut-out to the armour plate covering the front of the engine. Perhaps something for builders of the Dragon kit to consider? There's another one on the facing page, again showing an unusual type of mesh used in its construction, and this time towing an ammunition trailer.

There's a number of more unusual vehicles shown too...and not all them wrecked. An Sd.Kfz.261 being driven by GI's and towing a le.Einheits-Pkw. A pair of wrecked Pz.Sp.Wg AB41 201's, 15cm sIG33 Grille, and a M41 90/53 801 in German colours. Of course there are lots more Panzer IV's too, together with Tiger I's, Hornisse and more Panthers! Towards the centre of the book there are a series of Panzer III photographs taken from an official report, indicated by the labelled and numbered points marked on the photographs...although the origin of the photographs is explained, we're not privy to what the indicated numbers refer to on the first two pages, but the ones taken of the inside of the turret are explained in the captions!

Of course, the strength of these titles lies in the work that the authors have put into correctly identifying the various vehicles and their sub-types, and also which units they've come from and any unusual modifications etc., if they can be seen. Not an easy task seventy years after the events.

Panzerwrecks 08 - Lee Archer - Normandy 1 (2009).jpg

Meticulous planning got the Allies to the Normandy beaches, and brute force carried them inland : Panzerwrecks 8 follows the British, American, Canadian and Polish forces in the summer of '44 as they rolled up German held territory, and the photos here are grim reminders of the high cost of doing so. Had the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe of 1940 vintage backed forward positioned German land forces, the Kriegsberichter would have been taking pictures of Allied wrecks.

Modern Combat Vehicles 02 - Simon Dunstan - Centur ion (1980).jpg

The Centurion was the primary British main battle tank of the post World War II period, and was a successful tank design, with upgrades, for many decades. The chassis was also adapted for several other roles.

Manufacture of the Centurion began in January 1945, and six prototypes arrived in Belgium soon after the war in Europe ended in May 1945.The Centurion served in more wars than any other western tank.[citation needed]

* It first entered combat with British forces in the Korean War in 1950, in support of the UN forces.
* The Centurion later served in the Indo-Pakistani wars of 1965 and 1971, successfully fighting US supplied Pakistani M47s,
* It served with the Royal Australian Armoured Corps in Vietnam.
* It was sold to Israel which used Centurions in 1967, 1973, and during the 1975 and 1982 invasions of Lebanon. Centurions modified as APCs were used in Gaza, the West Bank and the Lebanese border.
* South Africa used its Centurions in Angola.
* The Royal Jordanian Land Force used Centurion tanks in the Golan Heights in 1973.

It became one of the most widely used tank designs, equipping armies around the world, with some still in service until the 1990s. As recently as the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict the Israel Defense Forces employed heavily modified Centurions as armoured personnel carriers and combat engineering vehicles

Panzerwrecks 07 - Lee Archer - Ostfront (2008).jpg

Although this book has several features, it has but one overarching theme: the war on the Eastern Front. In previous PW's we have concentrated primarily on the Western Front, and we thought that the Eastern Front deserved its own volume, and here it is.

Panzerwrecks 06 - Lee Archer - German Armour 1944- 45 (2008).jpg

During WW2, both sides employed radical makeshift solutions to gain short-term battlefield advantages, and here we present two of the more extreme examples. We'll take you inside a Flammpanzer 38 and give you a nuts and bolts tour of some mSPWs fitted with rocket launchers by the Americans . You'll also tour the main vehicle dump at Meppen, walk along a road littered with Pakwagons, and view the remains of vehicles stranded on flat cars at war's end...

Evgeni Bessonov - Tank Rider, Into the Reich with the Red Army (2006).jpg

Tank Rider is the atmospheric memoir of Evgeni Bessonov telling of his years of service in the vanguard of the Red Army and daily encounters with the German foe. He brings large-scale battles alive, recounts the sniping and skirmishing which tried and tested soldiers on both sides and narrates the overwhelming tragedy and horror of apocalyptic warfare on the Eastern Front.

Panzerwrecks 05 - Lee Archer - German Armour 1944- 45 (2007).jpg

We looked Eastward. We found some ghostly images of Panzers on a grainy Russian newsreel that we present here more for the overall sense of desolation they convey rather than any particular detail they provide. Heavy armor also reappears in a comprehensive walkaround of a Tiger II and a stroll through some Maus remains at Meppen. Interspersed are as many new photos as we could fit and as much new information as we could find . If you're looking for something interesting, it might just be here in Panzerwrecks 5.

Panzerwrecks 04 - Lee Archer - German Armour 1944- 45 (2007).jpg

So what you see here, and in every Panzerwrecks, are the photos and features weach fought hardest for. Lee has his detailed narratives and set pieces and I have my film clips and fuzzy images. Together we jammed three more photos into the Tiger feature and three more into the FHH feature. We continued to make changes and recast the entire book - including covers - right up until the last moment. We're exhausted, but, as soon as we catch our breath, we're going to do it again! In the meantime, enjoy Panzerwrecks 4!

Born in Batle Special 04 - M-48-60 Patton Main Bat tle Tank (1979).jpg

The M48 Patton was one of the U.S army's principal main battle tanks of the Cold War, with models in service from the early 1950s to the 1990s. The M48 was the U.S. Army and Marine Corps primary tank during the Vietnam War. It was widely used by U.S. Cold War allies, especially other NATO countries. The tank belongs to the Patton family of tanks, named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates for the use of tanks in battle. It was a further development of the M47 Patton tank.

The M48 Patton tank was designed to replace the previous M47 Pattons and M4 Shermans. Although largely resembling the M47, the M48 Patton was a completely new tank design despite a rough similarity from a distance. Some M48A5 models served well into the 80s. Internationally, many various M48 Patton models remain in service.

The 105 mm Gun Full Tracked Combat Tank, M60, is also known (but was never officially named) as the M60 Patton, and is a second-generation main battle tank (MBT) introduced in December 1960. It was widely used by the U.S. and its Cold War allies, especially those in NATO, and remains in service throughout the world today despite being superseded by the M1 Abrams. Egypt is currently the largest operator with 1,700 upgraded M60A3s, Turkey is second with more than 900 upgraded units in service, and Israel is third with over 700 units of Israeli variants.

Tanki (2007).jpg

Танки, прежде чем принять тот вид, в котором они существуют сейчас, прошли долгий путь развития. При этом иногда создавались какие-то головоломные конструкции и не замечались очевидные (на взгляд потомков) решения. Данное издание как раз и посвящено таким экзотическим проектам - их анализу и гипотезам о том, что могло бы быть, если бы мировое танкостроение пошло по другому пути. Книга предназначена для широкого круга читателей, интересующихся историей военной техники.
