Great review, that just went on my to-buy list. However you might want to edit appendix 4


Quoted Text

Appendix 4 – German Casualties during the Battle of Arnhem:
This section covers in great detail the German casualties of Kampfgruppe Knaust , the testing and deployment of the tank in North Africa, the King’s Force version offered by AFV Club. It makes for very interesting reading, and includes a number of developments being suggested by those in the field— for example, mounting the 3 inch howitzer in the turret and not the hull (as originally designed). It covers the actions of the tanks during this time, and is well-referenced with actual wartime pictures.

Excellent book! Contains a great wealth of reference photos of the Panzerkampfwagen III & IV along with others.

Happens when I was doing 6 things at once, but if you can get this book it is well worth it, has been added to my Arnhem collection of books.

Only about 50 copies left now so if you don't have one get it soon or live to regret it and pay a lot of money for it......
