Not Perfect, But Close,

This review is from: Captured American & British Tanks Under the German Flag: (Paperback)
This is one of a multi-volume set on German use of captured equipment during the Second World War. Each contains about 48 pages of text and illustrations--generally black and white contemporary pictures of the armor in German service, or immediately after a recapture with German markings and perhaps camopuflage still visible. There are no color illustrations in this volume except the cover, which closely follows a known example.The text describes the numbers of British and American tanks captured and sometimes the circumstances, the uses to which the Whermacht put the tanks, modifications, place in the German order of battle, and camouflage and markings when known. Photographs are copious: I have not seen an illustration of this sort which is not included in the appropriate volume, and they're reproduced well. In many cases the brown and olive green cammo pattern sometimes used by American forces is observable on the captured Shermans, and that's not always true of volumes on American armor. All told, the volume is a must buy for the military modeler interested in the topic, and a very tempting buy for the wargamer. Faults: not many. The equivalent volume on French tanks has a bit more on painting and marking in German service, and I would have appreciated a tad more comment on tactical employment. A little discussion of sources at controversial point or two would have been helpful. The numbers for German Sherman tanks in the Battle of the Bulge were the highest I've seen, and some Afrika Korps material refers to a company-sized unit of Stuarts which is not identified as such here. All in all, the best book on the topic by some margin.

if you build allied armor and want to add a nice twist to your next project, buy this book. Here you will learn how to paint it and mark it as a Beute Panzer. The term means war trophy or tank trophy, kind of like spoils of war. Anyways, you will be able to paint your allied tanks with some of that fancy and colorful German camouflage. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Captured American & British Tanks Under the German Flag: (Paperback)
Thursday: 02/11/2010The Author "Werner Regenberg has also developed books on captured French and Russian Tanks. All -3- of these books are worth the $$. Captured American and British tanks covers a little know subject. During the 2nd world war large #'s of Allied Tanks and Armored vehicles were captured, evaluted and used by the German Military. The first years of the war the German army was "on a roll" and almost always in possession of the battle field at the end of the day. Possession of the Battleground gave the axis ownership of their own damaged tanks and a large # of Allied vehicles. Ownership of large #'s of Allied Armored vehicles used in minor theatres of the war and in static defense freed up German tanks for use in more important roles. The photos presented are high quality and represent excellent research on the part of the author. I recommend this book for those readers with Military and historical interest.
