Krupp's original records were used to create this first accurate history on Pz.Kpfw1 development from its concept in 1930 to series production starting in 1934. It took over 30 years of digging in public and private archives try reveal this true story (free of the errors created by wartime "intelligence analysts"). Careful measurements of surviving Pz.Kpfw.I AusfA and B and original drawings/clear photographs were used in creating 10 sets of extremely accurate four-view scale prints of all production variants, including the Krupp Traktor (drivcr training chassis), the rare Versuchs-Aufbau (trial turrets and superstructures), the unique 20 sheet metal turrets and superstructures (produced for training by Kxupp), and all the differences betwccn the mass-produced 2., 3., 4., 5., and 6.Serie(La.S. (Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A and B) as well as all the backfitted modifications on the Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A and B. This 100 page book is heavily illustrated with 43 scale prints, 72 original drawings, and 8o clear & rare photos. The rest of the Pz.Kpfw.l variants, tactics, combat history, camouflage and markings will be presented in Panzer Tracts No. 1-2. 2002 paper cover, 100 pages, glossy page stock, 8 1/2 x 11.

2004 paper covers, 8 1/2 x 11, glossy page stock, 72 pages, 17 scale drawings and 67 large format photos. Now for the first time we present an accurate detailed history of the creation, production, and combat action of these famous tank destroyers. This first volume covers the initial attempts to create chassis specifically designed for self-propelled anti-tank guns (which didn't get into mass production) and the resulting makeshift conversions on available armored chassis that had to be used in combat. Altogether 12 different projects are covered starting with the real Zwischenloesung, Krupp L.S.K., L.Tr.Sfl., 3.7 cm and 7.5 cm Sfl., Pz.Sfl.II, 8.8 cm Flak 18 Sfl., Pz.Sfl.IVa, Pz.Jaeg.I, 4.7 cm Pak(t) auf Pz.Kpfw.35R, and ending with the rare trial Pz.Sfl.Ia and Pz.Sfl.Ic. New as-built drawings - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms - were created for both production series of the 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Pz.Kpfw.I.

Panzerjaeger Development & Employment 1927-1941 (Panzer Tracts, 7-1)

2006, paper covers, 8 1/2 x 11, glossy page stock, This 56 page book is heavily illustrated with over 130 scale drawings and 15 clear/rare large-format photos. ............................The authors have spent hundreds of hours accurately measuring the surviving Panther II chassis and the Schmalturm and over a thousand hours drawing at full-scale to create as-built drawings for the first time - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms. Extensive measurement of the Panther II chassis prove that its design is completely different than the Panther Ausf.F chassis. ...........................We have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details, while six-view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings are still used for the complete Panther. We also created "flat-plane" drawings of many components to assist modelers in making accurate parts that would be hard to replicate if only drawn at the angle in which they are actually mounted. This book also includes the development history of these rare Panther variants.

Panzer Tracts, No. 5-4: Panzerkampfwagen Panther II and Panther Ausführung F

2007, paper covers, 60 pages, prof illustrated with photos ....... Thanks to the efforts of Werner Regenberg in concentrating his 30 year research career on Beute-Panzer used by the German army in WWII, this book is loaded w ith new information on the history, organizational structure, unit strength, tactics, and types of BeutePanzer issued to each unit. H aving contacted veterans from practically e very B eute-Panzer u nit, Werner Regenberg has compiled a massive archive of original documents and photographs directly linked to each unit. Photos with unique unit markings have been included for most major and representative minor units with captions that correctly identify the Beute-Panzer units. In accordance with our high standards, the text and data are based solely on primary sources. The real value of the Brute-Panzer can be learned by reading the translated experience reports written by unit commanders close to the time when the actions occurred. Over 70 clean/rare photos illustrate this 60 page book.
