FUNKLENKPANZER

Quite simply the most fascinating AFV book ever published. A history of German remote- and radio-controlled armour units in immense detail, and superbly illustrated with more than eight hundred photographs, thirty-two pages of colour artwork by Jean Restayn and 76 pages of organigrams by Waldemar Trojca. This book is to the radio- and remote-controlled units as the "Combat History of the schwere Panzerjager-Abteilung 653" book was to the Elefant and the Ferdinand. An absolute must for the discriminating armour fan - most of the photographs have never been published before. In addition to exciting operational photographs of the demolition-charge carriers and the mine-clearing vehicles, there are hundreds of great shots of the command and control vehicles: the kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen, the LeitPanzer III, the Sturmgeschutz III and the Tiger. Short histories of all the remote- and radio-controlled units are presented, as well as some other armoured formations which used variations of the demolition-charge carriers. For those interested in Orders of Battle, the organisational diagrams provide a vehicle-by-vehicle illustration of the theoretical combat strengths of all of the separate companies and battalions. A quality Fedorowicz publication.
