5.0 out of 5 stars
A truly great book, 28 Mar 2002
This review is from: Encyclopaedia Of German Tanks Of World War Two: The Complete Illustrated Directory of German Battle Tanks, Armoured Cars, Self-propelled Guns and Semi-tracked Vehicles, 1933-45 (Paperback)
I recently bought this book, and it has to be said never have I encountered such detail. Firstly, it covers all german tanks and their variants developed and bulit fromm 1933-45. Secondly, it also covers any conceivable detail you cuold imagine. It tells you the manufacturer, radio set, angle and thickness of armour, even wether or not the turret was hand turned or not! Then it tells you about changes made to captured allied tanks, covers (in great detail) the radios, weapons, supplementary armour and total building amount of every german tank of world war two. Well worth buying.

Get this book!, 25 Mar 2003
This review is from: Encyclopaedia Of German Tanks Of World War Two: The Complete Illustrated Directory of German Battle Tanks, Armoured Cars, Self-propelled Guns and Semi-tracked Vehicles, 1933-45 (Paperback)
One of the first books I ever bought when I became interested in military modelling was the hard back version of this book. Mine is now a loose leaf edition and so I decided to buy this paperback version. It is without doubt THE best reference you can get on WW2 German AFVs, covering all you need to know about tanks, armored cars and hal-tracks used by the Third Reich with all the photos you could ever need. You will refer to it time and time again as it covers everything from PzKfw 1 to King Tiger and beyond. Giving such things as dates of production, details of variants etc and for the real anoraks amongst us, even chassis numbers! If you need to tell the difference between a PzKw Mk IV Ausf J and Ausf K this is the book for you!

As fine a pure reference work as you'll find, 20 Oct 2001
This review is from: Encyclopaedia Of German Tanks Of World War Two: The Complete Illustrated Directory of German Battle Tanks, Armoured Cars, Self-propelled Guns and Semi-tracked Vehicles, 1933-45 (Paperback)
This book certainly achieves its goal of providing a definitive source for information of German AFV's in WW2 with a massive amount of well presented information. The book details the armoured vehicles used by Germany during WW2 as well as providing information of prototypes and well presented statistics on the vehicles performance. The glossary explains all the terms used well and Chamberlain, Doyle and Jentz can be very proud of this work. This is a useful and well-presented book with wealth of photographic material rarely seen elsewhere. A little dry for the casual browser perhaps but for the enthusiast a must-have book that will enrich any library it joins.
