This WWII pictorial history illustrates the full range of Nazi
vehicles used in reconnaissance and support missions throughout the
war. The German military used reconnaissance and support vehicles
widely in the Second World War. This book illustrates the full range
of these vehicles with authoritative information and more than 200
rare wartime photographs. Both tracked and wheeled vehicles were
employed for reconnaissance and screening. These included light tanks
such as the Panzer I and Panzer II, armored cars such as the six- and
eight- wheeled Schwerer Panzerspähwagen, and motorcycles such as the
famous BMW R75 or the Zundapp KS750. In addition to their recon role
they would, on occasion, engage similar light units. Support vehicles
such as the tracked Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad, and the renowned Sd.Kfz.251
halftracks were used in the follow-up role, frequently with mounted
grenadiers to mop up over-run enemy positions.
