Century Tracks #2: Sd.Kfz 251
With more than 16,000 built, the Mittlererpanzerkraftwagen (MTW), better known as the Sd.kfz.251, was the second most produced AFV by the German industry, right behind the famous Pz IV. Unconspiciously beginning its career during the Polish Campaign in 1939, it was later found on all the World War 2 battlefields. It is on their disarmed Sd.kfz.251s that the last German mechanized troops went to the POW camps in May 1945. Designed to transport and protect the soldiers fighting along the tanks during the advances, the roles of this armoured vehicle grew during the whole war adding support, command, communication, ambulance, artillery observation post duties, etc. The author describes in details the story of this true workhorse of the Heer mechanized unitsin this book.
Century Tracks #1: French Shermans 1943-45
1943, the reborn French Army raises 3 armoured divisions with the help of the Americans. As for most other Allied countries, the tip of their spear is the Sherman tank. From Normandy to Alsace for the 2e DB and from Provence to the Vosges for the 1e and 5e DBs, this mythical tank will take part in all their fights to free France and lead the 1st French Army into Germany and Austria. During its build-up and battles, the French Army will receive nearly every model of the Sherman. This is why it is important to understand how the United States chose this tank and built it. In this first volume of Centurytracks, the author describes the technical aspects that took part in its design and evolution, as well as the different variants, before turning to the battles and detailing the complex markings adopted.
