Self-propelled anti-tank and anti-aircraft vehicles were a key element of the Nazi Army during the Second World War. Anti-tank weapons assumed great importance from the outbreak of war as combatants developed ever more effective armoured vehicles and tactics.

By Ian Baxter, 108 pages, 200 mono illustrations, covering self propelled anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns of Germany, 1939-1945.

A very brief read on the title subject, a great collection of images, all of which are clear and are either a whole page or two to a page, with a short caption included, covering a range of German self-propelled anti-aircraft or anti-tank guns including StuGs, Elefants, Nashorn, and Sturer Emil, along with others.

The text is limited to enough to introduce and explain pertinent points, the strength of the book is in the images, which are all monochrome, see below.

At 108 pages, there is no in-depth examination and only a handful of images for each vehicle, which may also limit the appeal. This is a huge subject that easily exceeds the page limit here.

Recommended for the images which will serve as good reference and inspiration for many a diorama.

thank you, Pen and Sword, for the book to review.
