Co-authored by Petr Dolezal and Vladimir Kos this is the
second volume in the series continuing the journey through
the Czech lands, where a tremendous number of vehicles were
knocked out, blown-up or simply left behind by retreating
German forces during the final weeks of World War 2. Among
them were also vast amounts of Red Army machines, knocked
out in the tank battles that raged. The book takes a closer
look at what happened to the vehicles after the war. King
Tigers, Panthers, Pz.IVs, StuGs. Hetzers, SPWs, T-34s and
IS-2s were among them, as well as Möbelwagens, Marders and
L/70As. The work is a photographic examination with accounts
of the units’ strength, and details of vehicle production
variants. Modellers will benefit from the highly realistic,
large format colour profiles. English/Czech text.
