Panzer IV & Its Variants (The Spielberger German Armor & Military Vehicles, Vol IV)

This publication is an excellent resource for the historian and scale model builder. The photo and the history of this tank and variants are written very well so as to undersatnd how each model was developed. I highly recommend this as a primary source book.

Mr. Spielberger, as usual, provides excellent technical information about tanks, in this case the Pz IV. Unfortunately, he has some flaws: No index and no chapters. This makes using his books for reference a bit difficult. It can also be confusing as to which model of the tank he is refering to or whether something is relevant to all models. For example, he comments that it took 15,000 work hours to build a Pz IV but he does not specify if this is for the early or later models. If you find info you want to refer to back later, be sure to mark the page(s) yourself. That said, this is one of the best technical works for the price available.

One of the best Spielberger from the 'Motorbuchverlag'.
Many different vehicles with marvelous pictures!

spielberger gives lots of specifications and technical information which includes pictures and details of individual components before,during and after assembly. if you are looking for books on german tank tactics there are better books. but if you are interested in pure tank specifications and the proccess used to determine which specs are kept and/or modified this book is for you. its very well put together, organized and absolutly wonderful.

One of the best buys for a very good source of data on the PzIV series.

Very detailed information. Very accurate information.
