Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank - Development and
German Army Service
From the Publisher: "With 679 photographs, 97
graphics and 2 four-side 1/35 scale drawings on 320 pages this is the most
comprehensive study on the Leopard 2 MBT ever published! Full English text!
The Leopard 2 has in the past thirty years repeatedly
underlined its leading position as the most capable main battle tank of
the world. This publication shows the complete development history starting
with the prototypes, covering the various series-production batches A0
to A6M and also gives an outlook on future modernisation efforts as currently
displayed by the Demonstratoren and the PSO/UrbOps. The technical and historical
aspects are complemented by walk-arounds and comprehensive coverage on
the Leopard 2 in German Army ‘Bundeswehr' active service.
Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank – International Service
and Variants
From the Publisher: "The Leopard 2 has repeatedly
underlined its leading position as the most capable and most versatile
main battle tank of the world. This publication grants an overview on the
Leopard 2 today in service with no less than 15 export nations. Shown are
the various national procurement backgrounds, national modernisation efforts
and combat-improvement programmes as well as conversions into combat-support
vehicles. Aside from many in-action pictures the technical aspects are
covered in detail with extensive photographical walk-arounds.
With 747 photographs and 30 graphics on 296 pages this book supplements
‘Leopard 2 - Development and German Army Service' to become the most comprehensive
study on the Leopard 2 MBT ever published!
Tankograd in Detail - Panther G & Jagdpanther
From the Publisher: "The technology of the PANTHER
tank and the JAGDPANTHER tank destroyer were landmarks in tank development.
The full-colour photographs in this publication are exceptional. Not only
because they were taken on vehicles that are, despite some unresolved details,
among the best preserved ones but also because they belong to an evaluation
centre of the Modern German Army and are thus most of the time stored away
in warehouses or collections rather than being displayed in bright daylight
or even shown in action.
The book has 96 pages, illustrated with 8 b&w
and 223 colour photographs. A4 landscape format. Complete

Tankograd World War One Specials
Tankograd World War One Special 1001 Sturmpanzer A7V
First of the Panzers
Only twenty A7V tanks were ever built and saw action
in the Great War. Despite this fact and that its impact on the course of
the war was barely noticed, the technical aspects of the design and that
it was the landmark of German ‘Panzer' development in the 20th Century
made the A7V an icon. The story and technical details of the A7V's development
and combat are subject to intensive research for the past thirty years.
While several competent extensive books covering the development of the
German tank force in World War One have been written, the A7V never was
the centre of a detailed, comprehensive and up-to-date monograph. This
publication, written by the leading experts in the field, and supported
with no less than 36 hitherto unpublished high-quality photographs, aims
at telling the story of the A7V based on today's improved knowledge. It
also highlights the tank from a different perspective, including individual
data sheets with records for each A7V ever built, the war-time use in the
three Abteilungen and in Freikorps service. Further chapters include among
others the Überlandwagen tracked lorry, crew uniforms, preserved A7Vs
and replicas. In addition, the photographs are shown, wherever possible,
enhanced in quality and in large size to allow a closer look on technical
details. This will allow the enthusiast to access the subject easier, but
also grants the expert access to unseen material that only surfaced in
the new millenium.
The book has 104 pages with 127 black and white and
10 colour photos and 23 drawings Complete English

Tankograd Soviet Special No 2006 PT-76
PT-76 Soviet and Warsaw Pact Amphibious Light Tank
From the Publisher: "During the Second World War the
Red Army mastered and rapidly expanded bridging and ferrying operations.
In the immediate post-war era it was understood that the Soviet Union needed
to rapidly develop a new generation of modern amphibious tanks. Priority
was given to the development of an amphibious light reconnaissance tank
with sufficient firepower to establish and hold bridgeheads. The PT-76
amphibious tank would become the main vehicle in Soviet and Warsaw Pact
amphibious operations in the Cold War decades to come. This is the first
comprehensive coverage of the PT-76 in Soviet Army, Polish Army and East
German Army Service." The book has 64 pages with

Tankograd Soviet Special No 2007 Soviet Trucks of WW2
in Red Army and Wehrmacht Service
From the Publisher: "The Soviet Union had a relatively
standardised military vehicle park at the outbreak of the Second World
War, consisting primarily of GAZ and ZiS vehicles. These trucks were simple
to produce in massive numbers and were straightforward to operate and maintain
in military service. This book reviews the standard Soviet built wheeled
military transport vehicles used by the Soviet Union during the Second
World War, of which little has hitherto been written in the West, and the
widespread use of the GAZ and ZiS trucks in the German Wehrmacht.
The book has 64 pages with 131 black and white and 2 colour photos and
6 pages of scale drawing. Complete English Text
Tankograd Soviet Special No 2008 Russian Army on Parade
- The Return of Russia‘s Red Square Military Parades 2008-09
From the Publisher: "During the days of the Soviet
Union, the annual military parades held on Red Square were for most foreign
military observers the highlight of the year, the day when the Soviet Union's
latest military technology was put on public display. After the Soviet
Union broke up the parades were cancelled for nearly two decades. That
all changed when in May 2008, tanks, armoured vehicles and rocket launchers
returned to Red Square for Russia's first military parade of the 21st Century.
This event was repeated in May 2009. This publication illustrates the vehicles
shown on the 2008 and 2009 parades on the Red Square, thus granting a look
on most recent Russian military vehicle technology. The
book has 64 pages with 3 black and white and 114 colour photos. Complete

Tankograd Soviet Special No 2009 T-62
The T-62 Main Battle Tank in Soviet Army Service
From the Publisher: "In the West mainly known by its
use in the Middle East Wars, the Soviet T-62 main battle tank's development
background remained enigmatic at best. Access to hitherto secret factory
reports allow now to tell the true story of a major Soviet tank design
that has falsely been designated as a stop-gap solution, but really is
the vital link from the T-55 to the T-72. This publication will reveal
the true story of the T-62, that was primarly intended to act as a state-of-the-art
long-range tank destroyer rather than a main battle tank, and whose development
history includes rivalling design teams and tanks (T-64), competing tank
factories as well as political intrigue. This work will also for the first
time correctly identify all Soviet versions of the T-62, from the prototypes
to the most recent upgrades offered for export. Illustrated with 37 b&w
photos, 138 colour photos, 17 graphics and one 1/35 scale drawing. Complete

NATO-led deployment of the Implementation FORce (IFOR) in order to end
the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina (former Yugoslavia), was the first
combat operation of NATO ever. It also was a milestone in the quick change
of NATO from an alliance focused mainly on protecting the territorial integrity
of its members into an alliance that more and more would be involved in
securing and establishing peace in other regions of the world. All states
that in 1995-1996 were members of NATO and featured armed forces and the
nations of the PfP program as well as other nations assigned troops to
IFOR and took part in Joint Endeavour. This publication shows the colourful
multinational motor pool of the operation. "
