Product Description
As Cold War tensions rose, West Germany became a potential main battleground in Europe for World War III.
Only ten years after the defeat of the German Wehrmacht in World War II, the creation of a modernized German army, or Bundeswehr, was seen as a vital task.
The rearmament of the German Bundeswehr, which took place from 1956 to 1965, during its early years, could best be described as "American armored vehicles vs. German trucks."
This book showcases the military vehicles that defined the first decade of the modern German army, with many rare, never-before-seen photographs.
This book also serves as a comprehensive illustrated guide to the early German Federal Armed Forces vehicles, covering a wide range of vehicles, from American-made M4/M5A4 high-speed tractors, M7 self-propelled guns, M16 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and armored vehicles such as the M39, M41, M42, M44, M47, M48A1, M55, M74, M88, and M113, to classic trucks from German manufacturers such as Borgward, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler-Benz, Faun, Porsche, Auto Union/DKW, Henschel, Magirus Deutschland, and MAN, as well as numerous vehicles that evolved in their own unique ways.
