dunc Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 I'm just wondering what books people would recommend about tanks, especially World War 2 tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 I just picked up Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War Two Cost all of $15 and it's BIG! Got it at Amazon. It's basic info, nothing fancy. Just basic nuts and bolts. For the price you can't beat it. There are several threads on this topic already. Do a search in the subject field with the keywords - "books tanks" Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 It's companion volume, British and American Tanks of World War Two, by Chamberlain and Ellis, is also excellent. ------------------ When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans. --Marcus Aurelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntg84 Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 Osprey makes books on Tanks. They go for about 13 dollars each. They have nice information and pictures and are in alot of people's budget. Schiffer publishing has many tank books as well as books on many other WW2 vehicles and infantry units for around 10 dollars each, but of course there are more expensive ones.

Mr. Clark Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 I'll also toss in my VOTE for: Encyclopedia of German tank of WWII and British and American Tanks of WWII In my opinion they are the perfect AFV reference for CM. (...and now I can FINALLY follow a grog discussion on tanks on the forum!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Warphead- Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 I recommend the two Chamberlain books too. I hope he does a book about Russian tanks. The newest I got on this topic is "Russian Tanks and Armoured Vehicles 1917-1945" from Wolfgang Fleischer. ------------------ http://www.nahverteidigungswaffe.de "Haben die Krupp-Werke Betriebsausflug?
