7075 Panzer Vor ! Band 7
Frank V. De Sisto
Author Frank De Sisto continues his very popular series of Panzer
Vor! books for Concord Publications. Focusing on German armored
vehicles, this is the seventh volume in this well-regarded
mini-series. The newest book contains many inspirational new black
and white photographs from the 1939-45 wartime period, and they
show armored vehicles in a variety of settings.
The book opens with a precis of the Germany tank industry before
and during the war. This summary describes how the nation's arms
industry was resurrected in the 1920-30s, and how it sought to
provide the materiel and vehicles needed to feed Germany's
insatiable war machine. Despite many restrictions and hurdles,
German industry did surprisingly well in producing such a wide
range of armored fighting vehicles up till the end of the war.
These efforts are reflected in a fascinating array of photos
showing military vehicles in action. The range of photography is
extraordinary - it includes the Panzer I, Panzer II, Panzer III,
StuG III, Panzer IV, Panther and Tiger I, for example. There are
also artillery pieces and a number of half-tracks featured within
the covers. Readers will find very useful the highly detailed
captions that accompany each picture.
De Sisto continues his longstanding collaboration with accomplished
illustrator Laurent Lecocq. In the center of the book are 16 color
plates by Lecocq, and these offer sample camouflage schemes and
markings. This well-researched book is a worthy companion to the
six previous Panzer Vor! volumes, and it will doubtlessly enthuse
military buffs.
