Readers will be pleased to know that the "Panzer Vor!" saga continues with this fourth volume in the mini-series! Following on with the successful formula seen in his previous books, the author, Frank De Sisto, presents a series of inspirational photos of German armored vehicles in WWII. In an age where many publishers are reprinting photos for the umpteenth time, this book is full of fresh photos that will likely be totally new to readers. The content includes a commendably wide range of German vehicles, with a welcome proportion of mainstream Panzers, including the StuG III, Hetzer, Panzer III, IV, Panther, Tiger and King Tiger. Rarer vehicles such as the Sturmpanzer IV and 10.5cm K (gp.Sfl.) also make an appearance. Foreign tanks in Wehrmacht service are also featured in glorious detail, including the Bulgarian T-11 light tank, Czech Pz.Kpfw.38(t), French Somua S-35, and Russian T-34/76. This is a veritable feast for armor junkies addicted to WWII tanks!  As usual for Concord's"Armor at War Series", there are sixteen color plates included as a centerpiece. These have been masterfully produced by Laurent Lecocq and show some attractive paint schemes that will be of interest to model-makers. Another feature of this book is the introduction, which breaks with tradition by forming an annotated glossary. This is very helpful, as there are a myriad of German language technical terms associated with Panzers and such like vehicles. The author has done a superb job of explaining many of these terms in an understandable and informative way. Readers will want to include this book in their collection, especially if they already have the earlier editions!

This new book by Frank De Sisto can be considered a bonus from Concord Publications! As explained in the preface, when the first volume on German Half-tracks (No. 7054) was released there was no intention to produce a follow-up book. However, with the unearthing of new photos, the result is this second compendium on the interesting topic of German half-tracked vehicles in WWII. The book is a highly useful collection of black and white photos, beginning with coverage of the diminutive Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkraftrad, and moving on to bigger vehicles such as the Sd.Kfz.10 D7, 3-ton Sd.Kfz.11, 5-ton Sd.Kfz.6, 8-ton Sd.Kfz.7, 12-ton Sd.Kfz.8 and 18-ton Sd.Kfz.9. It should be noted that armoured halftracks like the Sd.Kfz.250 and Sd.Kfz.251 that appeared in the original volume are not covered again here. Nevertheless, these aforementioned halftracks are extremely well represented, with photos showing them in all kinds of theaters and periods of the war. Many of the pictured vehicles are towing an array of trailers and artillery pieces that are sure to inspire many a diorama by modellers. Each photo is aided by a detailed caption that identifies key features and characteristics of the vehicle type. The book opens with a useful summary of each type of halftrack featured inside. In usual style for the series, the book also features 16 colour plates prepared by Laurent Lecocq. These plates provide the perfect opportunity to highlight camouflage paint schemes and vehicle/tactical markings. The combination of a knowledgeable author and atmospheric wartime photographs represents an inspiring book for any interested in the wide-ranging topic of German halftracks.
