German Armoured Cars and Reconnaissance Half-Tracks 193945 (Osprey New Vanguard #29)

Flexibility, mobility, and the ability to effectively communicate were all key requirements that the units operating armoured cars and reconnaissance half-tracks demanded – and that were also crucial to the Panzerwaffe and German Army as a whole. Bryan Perrett’s treatment of the development and history of German armoured cars and recce vehicles fully accounts for the crucial role that such units, and more importantly their vehicles, played during the course of World War II. Full orders of battle are also given, along with technical details and specifications of the vehicles assigned to particular units. At the turn of the century the Imperial German General Staff, despite its undoubted brilliance, was, if anything, even more conservative in its outlook than its contemporaries, and was determined to win any future war with the three classic arms - cavalry, artillery and infantry. An account of the history and development of German armoured cars and recce vehicles used in World War Two. The volume is number 29 in the NEW VANGUARD series. 2. Verdenskrig.
