Beute-Panzerkampfwagen

Book excerpt: Panzer Tracts No. 19 - Beute-Panzerkampfwagen - Czech, Polish, and French Tanks captured from 1939 to 1940 - 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 with new information on the history, organizational structure, unit strength, tactics, and types of Beute-Panzer issued to each unit. Having contacted veterans from practically every Beute-Panzer unit, 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 Beute-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
