Description
The armored forces of the North African and European theaters are depicted in 390 color paintings of tanks and related vehicles. Units from the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Italy and Germany all receive extensive coverage. The large paintings are rendered in a draftsman-like manner that makes it easy to measure dimensions and distinguish unit markings, paint schemes and details of equipment. Most of the vehicle paintings are accompanied by smaller pictures showing details of unit insignia and alternate turrets and other fittings. French armored forces are covered in unprecedented detail, both in 1940 and later in the war, when British and U.S. vehicles were used. The evolution of camouflage schemes for all armies is covered in full, with commentary on when and under what circumstances each scheme was used.
