ww2steel Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi, I am trying to find information about the established commands used by the German armor crews, especially in WW2. I would like them in English or German (or both!). My books love to talk about the tanks, love to talk about what happened, but never really give what was vocalized inside the tank. Also, (being a pilot) I am aware that even what is published as standard callouts often gets modified, if even slightly, by the crew using it. This is the stuff I am really interested in! I certainly appreciate any help! Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Panzertaktic by Wolfgand Schneider has all the info you need. Pg 263 details German radio procedures and format. Pg 486 gives gunnery commands. It's available from Amazon if you search for the following: Panzer-Tactics-German-Small-Unit-Armor Cheers fur noo George 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww2steel Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi, just wanted to make sure this: http://www.amazon.com/Panzer-Tactics-German-Small-Unit-Armor/dp/0811732444 was the right book. You reference page 486, and it only lists the book as having 368 pages. Thanks, Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi WW2Steel My bad. That's the correct book. I've got the original version which was a large format hardcover. The page numbers are from that version. The link I sent you is for the soft cover version so guess the page numbers will be differant. Radio stuff is in Chapter 5; Gunnery stuff is in Chapter 9. Cheers fur noo George 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
