Tankograd Publishing has just announced their release list for April 2008. A very strong emphasis on books for the modern enthusiast along with the latest edition of their useful magazine - Militärfahrzeug. The full report can be seen:
On a personal note, I would like to advice the actual issue of the "Militärfahrzeug". I wrote the article "T-34 -From the Drawing Board into Battle" about the childhood of this famous tank. The article describes in deep the development from the A-34 Prototype to the pilot-run machines (10+) and the first serial machines of the Sept. - Oct. 1940. The text component is accompanied by several never before published “after combat” photographs from the Jochen Vollert archives and a Hungarian colleague. My intention was to present some new facts, to clarify some old misunderstandings from recent publications and to bring in order the evolution in the first phase of the T-34. The article is closed by a short description of combat use of the pilot-run s and first serial machines. Fortunately the original article was translated into English language from Mr. Vollert himself and not by me! Hopefully, the feedback on this article can persuade Mr. Vollert to open his incredible archives a little bit more…
