Christopher W. Wilbeck - Sledgehammers, Strengths and Flaws of Tiger Tank Battalions in World War II (2004).jpg

Tanks - AFV Armoured Fig... - Christopher W. Wilbeck - Sledgehammers, Stren...of Tiger Tank Battalions in World War II 2004.jpg

The Tiger and King Tiger tanks gained legendary status during World War II. Numerous tank commanders attained phenomenal tallies of kills and accomplished extraordinary feats during combat in these tanks, building the legend to near mythic proportions after the war.
During WWII, the Germans created eleven Army and three Waffen-SS heavy tank battalions. These heavy tank battalions were employed in nearly every part of Europe against almost every enemy of Germany. As vast in breadth and scope as the employment of Tiger battalions themselves, Sledgehammers provides historical examples and analysis of heavy tank battalions’ actions in North Africa, Normandy, Italy, the Ardennes Offensive, and numerous battles on the Eastern Front including Operation ZITADELLE/the Battle of Kursk, Operation BAGRATION, the battle of the Cherkassy Pocket, late war attacks to relieve Budapest, and many other more minor engagements.
Although a great deal has already been published about Tiger tanks’ technical details and some of the units which used them, until now, very little has been written concerning the organization and tactical employment of these tanks throughout the German armed forces and across the theaters in which they were employed. Sledgehammers provides an in-depth look at heavy tank battalions’ organizations and tactics, including the tactical doctrine by which these elite units were supposed to fight and how they were actually employed on the battlefield by their commanders and crews.
Even given the Tiger’s reputation, many readers will be amazed by the fearsome casualties inflicted by the crews of many of these behemoth armored vehicles. It is safe to say that no other armored vehicle of the war wreaked as much havoc among enemy formations as Tigers. Many will, however, also find it equally stunning to learn of the Tigers’ many technical and tactical vulnerabilities. Through the systematic use of extremely detailed primary source and other impeccably reliable research, Sledgehammers demolishes several major myths about Tigers in World War II.
Meticulously researched and written with the perspective and respect for Tigers' crews that only a professional tanker can bring to the subject, Sledgehammers synthesizes information to provide new and definitive insights into the strengths and flaws of World War II’s most feared and legendary tanks.
Prologue by famed Tiger ace Otto Carius. Epilogue by Tiger killers Viktor Iskrov and Ray Holt. 35 original maps. 42 photos.

Jaroslav Hajecek - Tanks, Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade 1943-1945 (2009).jpg

This book begins with the history of the Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade from the first days of training in Great Britain to the last days of the war with the Dunkerque Battle. After pure historical notes, the topic moves to tanks. First the Cromwell A27 ARV Mk I and in deeper detail the Cromwell A27 ARV Mk IV 75mm with a large chapter description. Many photos show the Cromwell IV during training days. Cromwell mk IV A27 Typ E 75mm is the next tank and it is reported with photos shot during May 1945 during their homeward journey to Czechoslovakia and passing through liberated cities and villages. With the Cromwell Mk IV A27 Type F 75mm we find many intertesting photos with crews during maintenance services or parades. Again photos are in good conditions and many details are well visible. Next is for the Crusader (II, III and AA) family.After a short introduction note we find dozens of photos, Camouflage schemes and markings.Most photos have been took around 1943/1944 in Scotland. The book closing topic is related to the M5A1 Late Stuart, with 40 vehicles assigned to the Armoured Brigade and used for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes. This book has a large amount of good quality photos and Czechoslovaks had the interesting habit to give nick names to tanks and make interesting markings. Contains 188 b/w photographs. Dual Czech / English text.

Ricardo Fogliani - Blindados Argentinos de Uruguay y Paraguay (1997).jpg

Los primeros blindados que llegaron a la República Argentina fueron seis Crossley (ver el Capítulo correspondiente) en el año 1928, los cuales fueron integrados en los Regimientos de Granaderos a Caballo N" 2. 8 y 10. cada uno con su Sección de Automóviles Blindados (cada Sección con dos vehículos). \ Cuando en 1937 se compraron los doce tanques livianos Vickers-Carden-Loyd Modelo 1934. estos fueron destinados primeramente al Comando de Arsenales, de donde posteriormente pasaron a la Escuela de Tropas Mecanizadas en Villa Martelli en donde permanecieron hasta el año 1946. (Según otras fuentes, en 1937, el 10° Regimiento de Infantería se motorizó creando su propia Ia Compañía de Tanques Ligeros).

Squadron - Armor 2001 - Panzer III in Action (1972 ).jpg

PANZER III IN ACTION is a new concept. Between the covers of this book can be found some of the finest German wartime photographs ever taken. There is no text to speak of, since we feel there are enough publications available describing Panzers in detail, but lacking the photo coverage that the discriminating collector and model builder is seeking.
Each of the photos is unique in the sense that only operational Panzers are shown. These are not manufacturers publicity photographs that have been seen time after time, but propaganda shots originally meant to be published in German wartime publications. At least 90 percent of the pictures in this book have never been published before and it is our hope that you, the reader, will enjoy them for what they are.

Concord - Firepower Pictorials 1011 - Yves Debay - USMC Firepower, Armor and Artillery (1992).jpg

As pan of the US. Department of Navy, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) could be considered as a fully autonomous army and could easily be considered the 4th branch of the United States Armed Forces.
With 204,000 all volunteer elite soldiers, the USMC is the First Intervention Force of the U.S.A. The size and firepower of the USMC is equivalent to the firepower of a medium size country or the combination of two smaller countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands.
Although the primary task of the USMC is the frontal amphibious assault, the same "Leathernecks" are also capable of undertaking intervention missions like hostage rescue or the evacuation of US. citizens on foreign soil threatened by hostile governments.

Squadron - Armor 18 - Steven J Zaloga - Stuart U.S . Light Tanks in Action (1979).jpg

At the time of the outbreak of the European War in September 1939, the U.S. Army found itself with fewer tanks than even a small European country like Poland. While the Poles were able to field over 700 armored vehicles during the September Campaign, the U.S. Army had only about 400 worthwhile tanks, if the several hundred worn-out and useless 6-Ton Tanks of World War I vintage are discounted. Even these 400 tanks were of dubious value since virtually all were merely machine gun armed. This lamentable state of affairs can be traced not only to the penurious budgets of an isolationist Congress, but to the absence of a bureaucratic structure within the Army or the Department of War to lobby for funds for tank development and procurement.

Squadron - Armor 25 - Jim Mesko - M-24 Chaffee in Action (1988).jpg

During the early 1930s the Army Chief of Staff, GEN Douglas MacArthur, had begun a push to mechanize the Army and felt that the Cavalry should be equipped with tanks. He envisioned an armored Cavalry capable of moving ahead of the infantry to disrupt enemy forces. As a result of his efforts approval was granted to equip the Cavalry with tanks. To circumvent the 1920 Defense Act. which had allocated control of tanks lo the Infantry, vehicles were procured for the Cavalry as "combat cars'. Due to the economic constraints of the Depression, the Army was forced to concentrate funds on a modified version of the infantry tank, instead of a new design.
The late 1930s saw infantry tank units equipped with the M2A2 and M2A3. while Cavalry units used two combat cars, the Ml and M2. The basic difference between these vehicles were the number of turrets carried by each. Infantry tanks had twin side by side turrets while Cavalry models had single turrets.

Topcolors 15001 - Arkadiusz Wrobel, Robert Wroblew ski - Pz.Kpfw. V Panther (2007).jpg

Painting schemes of Panther tanks, like any other German combat vehicles of WWII era, evolved with time and were specific to various theaters of operations. Nevertheless, they were consistent with norms and standards operative in the German Armed Forces. Obviously, there were exceptions to the rules. Those were usually caused by lack of suitable paints and multiple overpainting of a particular vehicle.
A major change in the camouflage system of the German combat vehicles, which stemmed from frontline experiences, occurred in early 1943. It had been discovered that the commonly used dark gray color (Panzergrau) offered hardly any camouflage in open steppes of Russia. This fact led to mounting losses among the ranks of the Pan-zerwaffe. Following Army Communique (Heeresmittei-lung) HM 1943 No. 181, dated 18th February 1943, the dark gray was replaced by dark yellow (RAL 7028) as the base color for all German vehicles, supplemented by red brown (RAL 8017) and olive green (RAL 8002). The three colors served to create a great variety of painting schemes. Factory-fresh vehicles were supplied in the dark yellow factory base coat, to be painted at unit level with disruptive patterns of red brown and olive green according to regional and seasonal requirements. In winter most Panthers were painted with white distemper. Winter coatings differed, too. Some tanks were carefully camouflaged, whereas others only perfunctorily. In some cases only turrets were whitewashed. There were also more elaborate patterns in use, aimed at breaking up the outline of the vehicle.

Tanks - AFV Armoured Fighting ... - Ted J. Hartman, J. Ted Hartman - Tank Driv...rom the Battle of the Bulge to VE Day 2003.jpg

"We followed the acting company commander as his tank started up the narrow road [into Noville]. There were destroyed buildings and disabled German tanks and vehicles everywhere we looked. I was the driver of the fourth tank in the column. It was getting dark and hard to see, so I was driving with my head partway out of the hatch. There was a church on our right and a small crossroads just beyond it. As we passed the crossroads, I saw the burning phosphorus of an armored piercing shell go over my head. Were we in enemy territory? All of a sudden, someone on the radio said, 'The tank of the third platoon leader's been hit.'... I closed my hatch and turned the periscope to look back toward town. I saw many German soldiers filing out of buildings." -- from the book Tank Driver is the story of a young man's combat initiation in World War II. Based on letters home, the sparse narrative has the immediacy of on-the-spot reporting. Ted Hartman was a teenager when he was sent overseas to drive a Sherman tank into combat to face the desperate German counterattack known as the Battle of the Bulge. Hartman gives a riveting account of the shifting tides of battle and the final Allied breakout. He tells about the concentration camps, the spectacle of the defeated Germans, and the dramatic encounter with Russian soldiers in Austria that marked combat's end. This is a vivid, personal account of some of the most dramatic fighting of World War II.

Squadron - Armour 23 - Jim Mesko - M60 Patten in A ction (1986).jpg

When World War II ended, the United States possessed one ot the largest armored forces in the world. The main battle tank of this force, the M4 Sherman was a robust and mechanically reliable vehicle, which had been introduced into service during the middle of 1942. Unfortunately by 1945, despite some upgrading of both its armor and armament, the M4 was at a decided disadvantage when it met German Tigers and Panthers.
Belatedly, Army officials tried to maka up for lost time, pushing development of a number of tank designs which could hold their own against the heavier German tanks. By early 1945, one of these new designs, the M2G Pershing Heavy Tank «as juOywO teaUy kn Md use, and a number wore rushed lo Europe to help shore up hard pressed American tankers. The M26 Pershing did much to redress the balance between American and German armor, and performed extremely well in the few encounters with German tanks which occurred before the war ended.
With Germany's surrender Army officials were able to examine the latest German tanks and designs under development. At the same time rrost of the latest Soviet tanks, many of which totally outgunned anything in the US or allied inventory, were examined. These examinations had a very sobering affect on American armored officers. As a result, attempts were made to upgrade the M26 Pershing, and to develop a successor to it, so as not to fall behind the Russians.

Squadron - Armour 39 - Nicola Pignato - Italian M edium Tanks in Action (2001).jpg

The British introduced tanks into combat on 15 September 1916. late in their Somnie Offensive during World War One. The British - soon followed by the French and Germans -deployed tanks in an attempt to break the stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front in France and Belgium. The mountainous conditions of the Italian Front, where Italy faced Austria-Hungary between 1915 and 19IX, were not considered ideal for effectively employing the early tanks. The Italian Comando Supremo (High Command) did recognize the potential of these new weapons and acquired a Schneider C.A.1 medium tank from France in 1917. This vehicle was tested on terrain similar to that found on the Italian Front.
The Italians planned to purchase a limited number of tanks: however. Italy's defeat at the Battle of Caporetto (24 October-12 November 1917) and the subsequent retreat to northern Italy's Piave River halted tank procurement for the time being. A French Renault FT was delivered to the Regio Est-rvito (RiW\\ Italian Army) in July of 1918. followed immediately by three others from France. An order was placed at that time with Fiat for 1400 license-built FTs for completion by May of 1919. Only 100 Fiat-built FTs were completed when World War One ended, and the remaining order was cancelled.
