Now for the
first time the defining features of each Ausfuehrung of the Pz.Bef.Wg. have been
correctly identified and when significant modifications were introduced
correctly sorted out. This has been made possible by over 40 years of research
in private and public archives, chassis number analysis, and the assistance of
friends sharing rare photos of Pz.Bef.Wg. with legible chassis numbers. A
surviving Pz.Bef.Wg.Ausf E allowed us to correctly draw the unique details on
the turret roof. Hundreds of hours were spent precisely measuring surviving
Pz.Kpfw III components shared by the Pz.Bef.Wg. and original drawings of the
Pz.Bef.Wg.Ausf.D1 chassis and Pz.Bef.Wg.Ausf.K turret were used to create five
sets of new five-view 1/35 scale drawings. In accordance with our high
standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. 25 scale
drawings and 72 photos illustrate this 56 page book.
