TANKOGRAD 5103 GRUNDERJAHRE "AMERICAN ARMOUR AND GERMAN TRUCKS" FOUNDING YEARS OF THE GERMAN ARMY - 1956-65
Book Type: S,O by Peter Blume, Based on the increasing tensions of the Cold War, West Germany became the centre stage of a potential third world war battlefield in Europe. Only ten years after the German Wehrmacht’s defeat in World War Two it was seen as crucial to create a modern German Army, the Bundeswehr. The rearmament of the Heer ground forces in the founding years of the Bundeswehr in 1956-65 can be described as “American armour and German trucks“. This publication provides rare, eye-candy and mostly hitherto unpublished photographs of the first decade of modern German military vehicles including armoured legends such as the American-made M4 HST, M5A4 HST, M7, M16, M39, M41, M42, M44, M47, M48, M55, M74, M88, M113 and legendary trucks by German manufacturers such as Borgward, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler-Benz, Faun, Porsche, Auto-Union/DKW, Henschel, Magirus-Deutz, MAN as well as many other unique vehicle types. Quantity Photos and Illustrations: Illustrated throughout with five colour photographs and 142 black&white photographs Text - Language: English text Number of Pages: 72
