EDITORIAL REVIEW

Flexibility, mobility, and the ability to effectively communicate were all key requirements that the units operating armoured cars and reconnaissance half-tracks demanded – and that were also crucial to the Panzerwaffe and German Army as a whole. Bryan Perrett’s treatment of the development and history of German armoured cars and recce vehicles fully accounts for the crucial role that such units, and more importantly their vehicles, played during the course of World War II. Full orders of battle are also given, along with technical details and specifications of the vehicles assigned to particular units.

I'm no armor expert but I do have a fair knowledge of the subject and a full bookcase of reference books to prove it. This book is a real lightweight. No meat and nearly no potatoes. Not recommended except to persons who want a quick reference and have a limited amount of money to spend. You get what you pay for, 48 pages, 9.6" by 6.9" to cover development and operations of these vehicles over the 6 year period of WW2. Anyone want to buy my lightly read copy?

The Cliff Note Version

German Armoured Cars and Reconnaissance Half-Tracks 1939-45 was a bit disappointing in the brevity of its coverage. I bought it with a question regarding the number of crewmen in the SdKfz 233. I am convinced it held only 3, but this book didn't even mention it.

Typical Excellent Introductory Study
~ Written on Feb 4, 2002. out of users found this review helpful.

The Vanguard series is intended to give a brief introducton to various weapons systems used in the major wars of the 20th century. As such, they include color plates of various paint schemes on campaign, a sectional drawing of a representative vehicle, and plenty of B&W photos in the text. All this is wrapped in an elementary text based on new research in newly opened archives and presented in an attractive format. Useful to war gamers, students, and model makers.
