Once again the author dug into the original records to find the history of some of the rarest armored vehicles created by the Germans. While the mainstay for the battles in North Africa were the Pz.Kpfw. III and IV, Rommel's army troop tested numerous unusual weapons in combat. Nowhere else can the enthusiast or modeler find the history of the Panzer-Selbstfahrlafette II (also known as HKP 902), a unique design for armored semi-tracked tank destroyers with a powerful 7.5cm L/41 guns, 15cm S.I.G.33 B Sfl., the special armored self-propelled gun using Pz.Kpfw. II components and powered by a Büssing-NAG V-8 engine, the rare 15cm S.I.G.33 B mounted on a Pz.Kpfw. III by the troops in the field, 15cm s.F.H.13 mounted on the French Lorraine tractor chassis, initially created for a special action by Rommel, 7.62cm Russian anti-tank gun mounted on the semi-tracked Zugkraftwagen 5t, and the Landwasserschlepper issued to support Rommel's Special Forces in a planned attack behind enemy lines. 55 new and rare high quality photos illustrate these most unusual armored vehicles in Rommel's Funnies.

This is the definitive book on German armor for those interested in World War II. Edwards adds to a concise survey of the war in Europe and Africa histories of each of the Panzer armies, organizational details of armored formations, and descriptions of the supply and service units and equipment, including air and artillery. Supplementing the text are numerous maps and charts, as well as nearly 200 photographs. The format will appeal to the specialist (e.g., order-of-battle information and maps). This well-done reference is a needed supplement to histories of the war.

Panzer-Tracts 1-1 revolutionized the understanding of the basic Pz.Kpfw.I. This second volume continues with the in-depth presentation of new facts on the rest of the Pz.Kpfw.I variants, their combat history from Spain to Russia, and accurate information on camouflage colors and markings. Careful detailed measurement of surviving vehicles and original drawings with clear photographs were used to create 14 sets of four-view scale prints very accurately at full scale in CAD. These are printed at 1/24th scale to show small details on the kl.Pz.Bef.Wg. (small command tank), Schulfahrzeuge (driver's training vehicles), LKA and LKB (Krupp's light tanks for export), the VK 6.01 (Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.C) and VK 18.01 (Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.F). This 96 page book is heavily illustrated with 43 scale prints and 99 rare photos, including four pages with markings and camouflage patterns in color (traceable to the original RAL paint chips and OKH orders).

Using original Large-scale drawings of the turret and hundreds of chassis measurements, the Panzer Tracts team has created a new set of ultra-accurate drawings of the rarest of Germany's armored observation vehicle - the Pz. Beob. Wg. Panther. There are also new as-built 1/35th scale prints of the k1. Pz. Bef. Wg. (Sd. Kfz.265) - the first armored vehicle used by forward observers in 1940. Other rare "observation" vehicles include the Feuerleitpanzer (8t Zgkw and BN 10 H) used to launch V-2 missiles and the Panzermesskraftwagen used to observe experiments on test firing ranges. This volume also presents rare photos, 1/35th scale drawings, and accurate statistics of the Sd. Kfz.253, Sd. KfZ.254, Sd.. Kfz..250/5, Sd. KfZ.250/12, Sd. Kfz.251/l.8, Sd. Kfz.251P20, Pz. Beob. Wg. III, and Pz. Beob. Wg. IV. Over 40 rare photos and 20 scale drawings are used to illustrate the 13 different armored observation vehicles in this book.

This is the book that had to be written - a scoop for Panzer Tracts! During years of research, including visits to Porsche in Germany, the authors have uncovered truly amazing facts and data about Porsche's development of Tiger tanks. Myths are destroyed and facts are now available to all. This is the first time that the comprehensive history of the Porsche Tiger has been written for any publication. The photos are new, the history is new, the data is new, and the scale drawings are new - everything is new! This book is packed with five sets of accurate 1:35 scale four-view drawings that show all the significant changes that occurred during the production run - illustrating Tiger (P) Nr.1, Tiger (P) Nr.3, Tiger (P) with Turret Nr.11 or 12 (the higher sided also mounted on the Tiger I), Tiger (P) Nr.7, and the uparmored and modernized Tiger (P) used as a command tank in Russia during 1944. Virtually every one of these Porsche Tigers was different. 63 photographs, the majority never seen before in a publication in English, visually enhance this great book.
