A Tankograd publication bought off Ebay and was on the doorstep in 3 days, pretty good start. It has the original german text with English translation beside it. It stars off with a few pages of history how and when the Wehrmacht obtained british trucks, covers special conversions and camoflage and markings. All accompanied by good quality black and white pics.

Chapter 1 includes-Austin, Wolseley, Humber with 13 photos.

Chapter 2 is all the Morris variants, P.U., CS8 etc with 21 examples

Chapter 3 covers all the Bedfords, MW, OX,OY's, accompanied with about 42 pictures.

It also covers other vehicles, all with photo evidence, Albion, Austin,Commer, Ford, Leyland, Guy, AEC, Thorneycroft, Albion, Matador and even Scammels, a favorite on the Eastern front it would seem!

 

Cost approximately £15 including postage, and definitely worth it- unlike the other "Ladybird" book that I read on the subject!

There is another book in the process of being published by them, with vehicles used by the Afrika Korps.

A great reference book , for the British vehicle enthusiast, as well as people more interested in the period generall.

Get it, get a bottle of wine, and put yer feet up! ;-)
