The Kaiser's Panzers - German Tanks of The First World War (Images of War)

NUEVO

Este libro narra la evolución de los vehículos blindados alemanes durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. El ejército imperial adoptó tarde el tanque y, para el armisticio de noviembre de 1918, solo había desplegado veinte A7V.
Para compensar esta carencia, en el último año de guerra se repararon e incorporaron tanques británicos Mark IV capturados en un taller en Bélgica. Algunos de estos vehículos fueron más tarde empleados por los Freikorps para sofocar levantamientos en Berlín y Leipzig.

Aunque los tanques alemanes tuvieron escasa relevancia en el conflicto, dos primeros comandantes alcanzaron fama posteriormente: Ernest Volckheim, teórico de la guerra acorazada en el período de entreguerras y oficial Panzer, y Josef "Sepp" Dietrich, general de las SS implicado en la masacre de Malmedy en 1945.

Basado en archivos, noticiarios y prensa de la época, "The Kaiser's Panzers- ofrece un relato ricamente ilustrado de los primeros tanques alemanes, precursores de las Panzertruppen del Tercer Reich.

Les panzers allemands de la Seconde Guerre mondiale

It is through the emblematic figure of the tank, and more specifically the German tank - the Panzer - that this book tells the story of the Second World War. Panzer is a word of Germanic origin meaning "armored" or "shell".
While the term is now applied to all German armored vehicles, from their origins to the present day, usage has it that it essentially refers to the tracked armored vehicles with turrets of the German army of the Second World War (Panzerkampfwagen "armored combat car", often abbreviated to PzKpfw). The latter have a particular design and tactical use that made the difference on many fronts.

Indeed, after the Great War, neither Great Britain nor the United States paid as much attention to the question of improving armored vehicles as the German Wehrmacht. The Allied powers therefore fell significantly behind in this area of research.
In 1944, German tanks such as the Panther or the Tiger were technically superior to Allied tanks such as the Sherman.

Through 300 iconographic documents including many period color photographs and very precise technical drawings, all the German panzers of the conflict are described, illustrated and contextualized, including the prototypes never used on the ground. The more recent developments of German tanks are also mentioned in the book.
Finally, a part of the book is devoted to the presentation of the collections of the main museums in the world which host tanks and participated in the development of this book.

Le char allemand A7V

The A7V was the only German tank of the First World War, which can be explained by General Ludendorff's lack of interest in armored vehicles. It was only built in about twenty examples, which did not prevent its use in all the major battles of 1918, starting with Operation Michael on March 21. Its small number prevented it from playing a real tactical role on the ground.

This 32-page booklet, illustrated with excellent period photographs and color illustrations by Éric Schwartz, is part of a series of monographs published by Ysec Éditions on the weapons and vehicles of the Great War.

Axis Tanks of the Second World War - Rare photographs from wartime archives (Images of War)

El ejército alemán utilizó tanques con efectos devastadores en sus campañas de guerra relámpago durante los primeros años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y en las intensas batallas defensivas que condujeron a la derrota final en 1945.

Para muchos puede resultar sorprendente que el ejército japonés contara con más tanques que la Alemania nazi en 1938; entre ellos se encontraban el tanque ligero Tipo 95 y los tanques medianos Tipo 89 y 97. Entre los países aliados del Eje que fabricaron sus propios tanques se encontraban Italia, Rumania y Hungría.
Este último fue responsable de las series de tanques ligeros Toldi y Turan.

Como se puede apreciar en las descripciones e imágenes de esta obra clásica de la serie Imágenes de Guerra, las potencias del Eje se inspiraron en diseños británicos y, en algunos casos, franceses para sus tanques en el período previo a la Segunda Guerra Mundial: la suspensión de tanqueta Carden-Loyd se utilizó en la serie Panzer 1 y en los tanques ligeros italianos y japoneses.
El talento de la ingeniería alemana dio como resultado los diseños originales e ingeniosos de las series Panzer II, III y IV y, más adelante en la guerra, de los tanques medianos Panther y pesados Tiger.

Esta última obra del autor y experto Mike Green fascinará e informará a historiadores, ingenieros y aficionados a los juegos de guerra.

Mark IV vs A7V - Villers-Bretonneux 1918 (Osprey)

The German A7V and the British Mark IV were similar in weight, size, and speed, but differed significantly in armour, armament and maneuverability. The A7V had thicker armour, and had nearly double the horsepower per ton. The Mark IV's pair of side-mounted 6pdr cannons forced the vehicle to present its side arc to an enemy in order to fire one of its main guns. Possessing twice as many machine guns as the Mark IV, the A7V had a frontally mounted 57mm gun that proved capable of defeating the Mark IV's armour. The Mark IV's rhomboid design proved superior in crossing trenches, climbing obstacles and moving over rough terrain.
As the first tank-versus-tank engagement in history, the fighting around Villers-Bretonneux showcased the British Mark IV and German A7V designs. Although not purpose-built to combat enemy armour, both vehicles proved the viability of such operations, which during the postwar period led to key advances in suspension, armour, gunsights, ammunition, and command and control. While the British continued to develop their armoured forces, German armour development never materialized, and only in the postwar period did they address the issue.

This book describes the A7V and the Mark IV in detail.

German Panzers 1914-18 (Osprey)

Panzer warfare is synonymous with the Wehrmacht of World War II.

This book examines the story of the Panzer's more mysterious ancestors, the little-known panzers of the Great War. Germany was very slow to develop armored vehicles compared to Britain and France. Efforts to catch-up proved difficult, and only a few dozen German A7V tanks were completed in time to take part in the final campaigns of 1918. As a result, the majority of German panzer units actually used captured British tanks, the Beutepanzer.

This book traces the development of German panzers of the World War One, including the A7V and its intended but unfinished stablemates.

Contents: Introduction - Early Roots - The Early Tank Program - The Cambrai Shock - A7V Variants - Panzers in Training - Into Combat - Rebuilding the Tank Units - German Armored Cars in Combat - Final Tank Battles - Plan 1919 - Further Reading - Color Plate Commentary - Index.

Deutsche Panzertechnik - Motoren und Getriebe 1925-1945

Nations experimented early on with different engine types and designs in tank construction. Germany initially lagged behind, but began adapting Maybach engines originally designed for trucks and luxury cars before the official start of rearmament. The question of maneuverability was crucial, and until now little detail was available on all of these factors.

Michael Fröhlich now presents the development of German tank engines, gearshifts and steering gears in a well-founded reference work. The volume contains numerous previously unseen illustrations, technical drawings and sketches.

Fahrzeuge der Reichswehr - Panzerkampfwagen 1920-1935 (Spielberger)

The Wehrmacht did not officially exist again until 1936. But the foundations for the army's development had been laid long before that. Officially, the Reichswehr of the Weimar era never had more than 100 000 members, no heavy weapons and no armored vehicles. But secretly, research and work had long been underway.

This Spielberger volume presents the developments that were to become the Wehrmacht's first armored vehicles. With many photos, drawings and technical data and facts, the background to the covert rearmament in the Weimar Republic is also explained.
