German Armoured Cars and Reconnaissance Half-Tracks 1939-1945 (Osprey)

Flexibility, mobility, and the ability to effectively communicate were all key requirements that the units operating armoured cars and reconnaissance half-tracks demanded - and that were also crucial to the Panzerwaffe and German Army as a whole.
Bryan Perrett's treatment of the development and history of German armoured cars and recce vehicles fully accounts for the crucial role that such units, and more importantly their vehicles, played during the course of World War II. Full orders of battle are also given, along with technical details and specifications of the vehicles assigned to particular units.

Contents: Development - Organisation and Method - Armoured Reconnaissance in Action.

German Reconnaissance and Support Vehicles 1939-1945 - Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War)

The Wehrmacht used reconnaissance and support vehicles widely in the Second World War and this book sets out to show the full range of both categories using over 200 rare images and descriptive text and captions in true Images of War Series fashion.

Both tracked and wheeled vehicles were employed for reconnaissance and screening. These included light tanks mainly comprising of the Pz.Kpfw.I, armoured cars such as the six and eight wheeler Sd.Kfz. 231, 232, 233, 234 and its variants, 263, the Sd.Kfz. 221, 222, 223, 234 and 247, motorcycles such as the famous BMW R75, the Zündapp KS750.

In addition to their recce role they would, when possible, engage similar or light units. Support vehicles such as the tracked Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkrad, and the renowned Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks were used in the follow-up role, frequently with mounted grenadiers to mop up over-run enemy positions.
The book fills a gap by outlining the full range of such equipment including the variety of armaments and power plants, and the crews that performed these missions.

Gepanzerte Radfahrzeuge des Heeres bis 1945 (Spielberger)

The deadlocked fronts in World War I accelerated the development of armored vehicles with internal combustion engines by all warring parties. Because they were more dependent on roads, armored wheeled vehicles had different tasks than those with tracked drives.

Pages of the book "Gepanzerte Radfahrzeuge des Heeres bis 1945"

Walter Spielberger documents the motorization of the German armed forces up to 1945. He describes all the important wheeled vehicle models that were used by the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht, starting with Daimler's first road armored car and the tank dummies in the Weimar Republic to radio-controlled vehicles in the Second World War.
