German Armored Vehicles of World
War One
by Tom Laemlein
German armored vehicles have been the favorite of enthusiasts
for decades, but the very beginning of the “Panzerwaffe” has
been given very little attention. This unique photo study shows
German armored vehicles of the Great War, including the massive
A7V. Also covered are various German armored cars, trucks and
artillery vehicles, as well as the captured British MKIV tanks
that made up the bulk of Germany’s WWI tank force. Plus, for
the first time, German anti-tank weapons of the Great War are
shown in detail.

Blitzkrieg Armor
Volume One: The
Western Front
by Tom Laemlein
This new series of photo studies focuses on the armored vehicles
of the pivotal Blitzkrieg era (1939 through 1941) that set the
stage for armored warfare throughout the conflict. Volume One
covers the action on the Western Front (Belgium & France)
in the spring of 1940. Many of these previously unpublished
images of captured and wrecked Allied vehicles and of the tanks
of the victorious Panzerwaffe, were taken by the troops themselves.
This provides an outstanding visual reference for modelers and
armored warfare historians of the desperate days of Germany’s
stunning victory in France.

a
first-hand look into the early days of the Russian Front.
