The LKW 0,5 t tmil gl Iltis light truck is a versatile, all-wheel-drive, off-road vehicle that replaced variants of the Munga light truck in the Bundeswehr from 1978 onwards. Three basic variants of the Iltis were procured by the Bundeswehr:

° Lastkraftwagen, Mehrzweck-, 0,5 t tmil gl, 4x4 für Einbausatz SAN for the medical mission kit, and
° Lastkraftwagen, Mehrzweck-, (Turbodiesel-Motor) 0,5 t tmil gl, 4x4 turbo-diesel light truck.
The present publication describes the development history of the Iltis, its technology, variants and various mission kits in great detail using many hitherto unpublished photographs. Also included are other user nations.

Dodge WC-54 & WC-64 (KD) Ambulance
The third part of our Dodge series covering the vehicle family in service in WW2 and Korea. As each other volume in the Technical Manual Series this book is lavishly illustrated with wartime photos and technical manual excerpts and also features a detailed textual development history.

The Dodge T-214 ¾-ton 4x4 WC-54 Ambulance and WC-64 (KD) Ambulance are conventional all-wheel-drive vehicles, capable of operations over unimproved roads and cross-country at full payload. Automotively they are identical to the other ¾-ton 4x4 models of the T-214 series. The ambulance crew consists of the driver and the ambulance orderly. The field ambulances carry four litters and a supply of blankets and splints, and are capable of transporting eight sitting or four litter cases (patients). Purpose of the field ambulance is the evacuation of casualties from the frontlines to rearward areas through collecting and clearing stations to mobile hospitals, general hospitals, station hospitals or hospital centers depending on the medical condition and medical needs of the casualties.

Conqueror Heavy Gun Tank
Britain's Cold War Heavy Tank
The FV214 Conqueror heavy gun tank was developed and fielded by the British Army in the early years of the Cold War to counter the threat caused by Soviet heavy tanks such as the IS-3 and the T-10. If the Cold War had turned hot, the Conqueror would have served as a tank destroyer to knock out enemy armour at a range superior to that of the Centurion main battle tanks.
This publication describes the development history, the technology, variants and the only eight year long in-service life of the Conqueror heavy gun tank. Also covered is the Conqueror armoured recovery vehicle.
