Panzer Crewman

“An excellent primer for those interested in the subject matter. There are plenty of photographs and diagrams to support the text throughout the book. The quality of these photos is generally very good, such are the improvements in processing now. Recommended.”– “MAFVA”
“For the tank enthusiast, and for the armour modeller in particular, this is a very handy reference, with a lot of detail included all within the one book. In addition to the informative text, useful data tables, good artwork and some well chosen archive photos, I think this is definitely one to have on your reference bookshelf, and good value for money as well.”– “Military Model Scene”
”…an excellent primer and one-stop shop for history of Germany’s World War II panzers, tactics, and how they were employed from the first offensive battles to the grinding defensive battles on three fronts.“– “IPMS/USA”
“There are plenty of images, mostly new, all clear, some colour current vehicles, and each is supported with a sentence or paragraph to give the image context.”– “Armorama”
”…there are a lot of period photos, some in color, as well as color profiles and art work along with charts and small vignette features that concentrates on items of interest. This all makes for a well rounded and easy to read book for the historian and enthusiast as well.“– “ModelingMadness.Com”
“The crew sections provide a nice overview of crew training and general duties, although specifics such as how they approached battle, dealt with damage, and performed maintenance is in short supply.”– “Historical Miniatures Gaming Society”
”…great detailed shots and drawings for those looking for references in their models. Highly recommended for beginners to advanced builders.“– “AMPS”
