Another winner in the "In Action" Series - it's tough to tackle all of the different uniforms worn by Panzergrenadiers (armored infantry). Six years of war, different terrain, weather all had impacts on what the troops wore when. Volumes have been dedicated to the subject. This 48 page book literally gives a snapshot of uniforms, weapons, and the armored vehicles they rode into combat. There are two pages of color drawings to show camouflage patterns. It's a glimpse, but very representative of the odds and ends soldiers wear & the equipment used.



As an added bonus - medals worn, web gear, armored car types, fantastic photos of soldiers at war. An excellent book for modelers and those who want to see more detail of German uniforms without paying a fortune on a specialized book. I've enjoyed it very much and read it several times. It's not worth the current $38.66 asking price for a new book, but a copy for $10.00 or so makes an excellent addition to your library.

As a former member of a Panzergrenadier division I found this booklet highly informative and well illustrated. It provides factual information and refreshed some of my memories after nearly six decades. What is also of interest is that the U.S. armed forces have now adopted, with minimal modification, the essence of the Wehrmacht helmets. The reasons are obvious, because they protected not only the head but also the top of the neck.
The booklet can be recommended to anyone interested in WW II.

This small document gives a brief, yet complete description on the Panzergrenadiers. The photo's are all real. And are very intersting. The book even goes over the change in uniforms and equipment through the years. I was able to read this from cover to cover in a matter of an hour. Great fun. This is book 5 in a series of books from squadron. I want them all!!!!!

M3 Infantry Half-Track 1940-73 (New Vanguard)

M3 Infantry Half-Track 1940-73 (New Vanguard)
Steven Zaloga | 1995-01-16 00:00:00 | Osprey Publishing | 48 | Conventional
As armoured warfar tactics matured, mechanised infantry became a key ingredient in what is now called 'combined arms' doctrine. For the US Army of World War 2, the most important technical aspect of infantry mechanisation was the development of the M3 half-track personnel carrier. Steven Zaloga guides the reader through the early 1930s development of the half-track, its first deployment in action in the Philippines in 1941 and its varied and vital role in international deployments since World War 2. This authoritative text also examines the operators of half-tracks and the troops that they carried.
