German Military Vehicles in the Spanish Civil War (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

An authoritative and fully illustrated study of the German military vehicles that fought in the Spanish Civil War--from motorcycles to Panzer Tanks.

This comprehensive volume examines the combat and logistics vehicles that formed a vital part of the German contingent fighting in the Spanish Civil War alongside Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces. The Panzer I, which so surprised the world in the Polish campaign of World War II, was first seen in the Spanish Civil War. It appeared together with a wide range of war materiel such as antitank guns, flamethrowers, and other armaments.

This book covers a wide range of vehicles, each identified in detail: from the humblest motorcycle to the Horch staff car; from Opel 'Blitz', MAN Diesel, Mercedes, and Krupp trucks to the enormous Vomag 3LR 443 truck; as well as the many types of military ambulances seen in Spain during the war years. With more than 500 historic images--most of them previously unpublished--this volume is an unprecedented study of the vehicles used by the German contingent in the Spanish Civil War.
