Title: High Quality Armor History
Review: As the Germans developed the theories of armored warfare in the 1930s, they realized that they needed infantry vehicles to keep up with the tanks. 1/2 tracks, such as the SDkfz 251 were created to fill this role. As with all armor vehicles, compromises were made.While more mobile than a truck, a 1/2 track is more expensive and not as mobile as a tank. However, the Germans led the way with this concept. This book traces the history of the one of the most infamous of all half-tracks. It has many very crisp, detailed black & white photos, line drawings and descriptions of the many varients that were made of this useful vehicle. As with all German weapons, demand far exceeded supply.I really like the fact that the authors compared the U.S. M-3 half track to the German half track. This is the definitive book of German half tracks. It is worth the price. Modelers and armor fans will be glad to have this one in their collection.
