TANKOGRADTANKOGRAD ONLINE CATALOGUE CATALOGUE 2008-2 ONLINE2021-III WWW.TANKOGRADWWW.TANKOGRAD.COM .COM Panzerkampfwagen T 34 - 747 (r) The Soviet T-34 Tank as Beutepanzer and Panzerattrappe in German Wehrmacht Service 1941-45 Beutepanzers, captured foreign tank designs in service with the Wehrmacht, played a much more influential role in German Panzer deployment and tactics than previously thought.While the bulk of Beute tanks were relegated to hinterland policing and anti-partisan duties, it was the hundreds of Soviet-built T-34s in German hands that were supporting Panzers in the medium tank and tank destroyer roles in combat everywhere along the frontlines in the East. For the first time, this book sheds comprehensive light on the German Panzerkampfwagen T 34 – 747 (r), and underlines this detailed research with hundreds of photographs of the German T 34 in action. Unlike other publications so far released on the topic of Beutepanzers, this monograph focuses on the hardware rather than on the organisational paperwork of unit designations, readiness reports and unit deployment histories. It is consequently highly pictorial, showing tanks in service, their Soviet technology and production batches, as well as their German modifications and markings and it looks at the life of their crews. Furthermore, it outlines the T-34’s development in the Soviet Union based on the most recent discoveries. As it is crucial to understanding the astonishing extent to which the T 34 was used in German service, and what an immense and important impact it had, the background of the German Beute principle is highlighted in an extended introduction. Another major chapter in this book is devoted to T 34 Panzerattrappen dummy tanks that, to a hitherto unknown degree, were most influential in tactical anti-tank training and tactical doctrine for the Wehrmacht. The extent to which these T 34 dummies were used strongly underscores the thundering impact this Soviet medium tank had on the German side. The Panzerattrappen require a similarly extensive introduction in this book. Dating back to Kaiser and Reichswehr days, it allows readers to fully understand why ‘wooden T 34s’ played such a decisive role in German land warfare training. 328 Seiten mit 552 größtenteils bisher unveröffentlichten Aufnahmen!

While there have been several publications covering this vehicle over the decades, this present book is different as it offers a fresh look and a unique approach: For the first time, a large amount of high-quality wartime photographs were available for the detailed research of production batches and individual components. This has allowed the first-ever, reliable production batch identifier to be published. In addition, the photos displayed are mostly unpublished and come from private photo albums of soldiers that drove in and worked with the Kübelwagen on a daily basis, rather than being well-known propaganda shots. This book starts where other publications end, with the moment the first Kübelwagen was delivered to the Wehrmacht in mid-1940, and it takes the reader through the war years and to all frontlines. ° Kübelwagen - History ° Kübelsitzwagen - The Predecessors of the Kübelwagen ° Kübelwagen - Production Batch Identifier ° Kübelwagen - Close-Up ° Wehrmacht Kübelwagen of the Afrika Korps ° Wehrmacht Kübelwagen on the Eastern Front ° Wehrmacht Kübelwagen on the Southern Front ° Wehrmacht Kübelwagen on the Western Front and in the German Reich ° Kübelwagen in Luftwaffe Service In 256 pages this book is illustrated with 475 black and white photographs, 16 graphics and illustrations, 33 colour ° Kübelwagen of the Kriegsmarine, Waffen-SS, Polizei photographs and 12 colour profiles.

And truly, more than any other theatre, fighting in the Balkans was among the most irregular and bloody of the whole of World War Two. This publication aims to close a vital gap in documentation of this campaign by providing the first comprehensive account of armoured vehicles and their respective units deployed there.
