Reno Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 Panzerjager: Tank Hunter William B. Folkestad Good first person account. Mostly the Eastern Front. Plenty of rare photographs. Will definitely put you in the mood for CM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 The Encyclopedia of Weapons Of World War II, edited by Chris Bishop. If you're looking for something more technical and less personal this is a pretty good choice. It has a good section on infantry anti-tank weapons and another on anti-tank guns. Lots of illustrations and photos of just about every WWII weapon you can think of. 500 plus pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted October 5, 2000 Share Posted October 5, 2000 Here is one: "Tank Killing : Anti-Tank Warfare by Men and Machines" by Ian V. Hogg, ISBN: 1885119402 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1885119402/102-2003895-2189745 I find it is rather comprehensive and discuss the development of tactics and equipment for tank killing purposes from WW1 to nowadays. "U.S. Infantry Weapons of World War II" by Bruce N. Canfield, ISBN: 0917218671 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0917218671/102-2003895-2189745 It is rather expensive but it does have sections on rifle grenades and boozooka. Quite a lot of photos. "Germany's Infantry Weapons 1939-45" by Terry Gander, ISBN: 1861261810 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861261810/102-2003895-2189745 Here is another one but not yet arrived "Panzerfaust : And Other German Infantry Anti-Tank Weapons" by Wolfgang Fleischer, ISBN: 0887406726 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0887406726/102-2003895-2189745 I suggest you may wish to visit the CM reading list website or search here for a number of discussions on hollow charges, tank guns and infantry AT weapon effectiveness Griffin. ------------------ "+" is just the beginning.
