7060 Panzer Vor! (Band 3) German Armor at War 1939-45
Frank V. De Sisto
The trilogy continues! This is Frank De Sisto's third volume in his
series on German armored vehicles of WWII. The format is identical
to the two volumes that have previously been published. The
successful, tried and true formula of a combination of text, good
quality photos, explanatory captions, and a series of excellent
color plates by Laurent Lecocq, is happily present. In this
particular volume, the text commences with a brief description of
the principal families of tanks fielded by Germany (for example,
the Panzer I, II, Tiger). For a book of this type, the text is
necessarily concise, for it is the photos that are the main
feature. Nevertheless, the text offers a good primer for the
novice.
The black and white wartime photos are wide-ranging in their
coverage, and this is what makes the book so interesting. Many of
the photos are new and will be of great interest to modelers, or
those simply interested in German military vehicles. The
photographs range from early war through to late war. They cover
the diminutive Panzer I through to the monstrous species of the
Tiger family. They cover armored cars through to heavy tanks. And
they cover vehicles operating from France through to those on the
Russian steppes in the East. The author has again gone to special
lengths to write captions that are extremely accurate, and that
offer insights into vehicle details and how armored vehicles were
typically employed. The accompanying notes are a product of
painstaking research and many years of familiarity with reference
sources.
Panzer Vor! 3 is an excellent pictorial examination of armored
vehicles in action, and is the perfect complement to the two
earlier volumes. Readers will be pleased to know that in this
volume they will find an accurate and informative text, along with
a large number of inspiring photos. This fascinating book would be
an excellent addition to any military enthusiast's library, but
especially for those with an innate curiosity about German vehicles
of war!
