While much has been written about the Nazis’ panzers, comparatively
little is known about the armored vehicles in service with the other
Axis armies. This classic Images of War book redresses the balance by
covering in detail the equipment operated by these nations supporting
Hitler’s war machine. Using rare and often unpublished photographs
with full captions and authoritative text, it provides a comprehensive
coverage of Romanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian tanks and other armored
fighting vehicles. In addition, it describes Yugoslavian, Serbian and
Slovakian armor in addition to armor originating from the Fatherland.
Examples of tanks and assault guns are the Romanian TCAM R-2 (Panzer
35t tank destroyer), TACAM T-38 (Panzer 38t), the Bulgarian Jadgpanzer
38(t), StuG40 Ausf.G, Pz.Kp.IV AusH and the Hungarian StuG.III Ausf.G,
not forgetting Tigers & Panthers. As well as giving technical
specifications, the book traces the fighting record of these vehicles
between 1943 – 1945. It shows how armored units fought bands of
partisans, and were used to defend their frontiers against the
overwhelming might of the Red Army, until they were either captured or
destroyed.
