Product Description
This book is a guide that focuses on various rare vehicles, including the A7V assault tank [Hedy], which was used as a riot control tank by the German volunteer army (Freikohr) during the chaotic period in Germany after World War I.
Previous volumes in the [World War I Special] series have covered the main weapon systems of the German Imperial Army, such as tanks, armored cars, artillery tractors, anti-aircraft self-propelled guns, trucks, motorcycles, ambulances, and special vehicles. This book fills in the [untold gaps], such as the changes in vehicles that continued to be used after the war.
Each chapter included in this book is the first comprehensive work in its field.
The chapter on [Tracked Transport Vehicles] provides a thorough explanation of various fully tracked and partially tracked trucks, including the Überlandwagen, Dürwagen, Orionwagen, and Lanz tracked tractors.
The chapter on the [Hedy riot control tank] traces the history of the A7V assault tank during the German volunteer army era and includes detailed 1/35 scale precision drawings, which are being published for the first time.
The chapter on [Straßen Locomotives] (Street Steam Locomotives) details wartime steam tractors from various companies such as Fowler-Magdeburg, Khemna, Lanz, and Hoike that were used to tow super-heavy siege guns, and also briefly summarizes steam trucks from Badenia and Wolf as supplementary information.
The book also dedicates a chapter to the transport of field artillery and cargo trucks used as self-propelled artillery.
The chapter on [Daimler, Erhard, and Benz Special Police Vehicles and Armored Cars] reveals the full scope of the significant role that former German Imperial Army vehicles played in postwar security police and even in the Reichswehr (Weimar Republic Army).
This book is recommended not only for researchers of German vehicles from World War I and the interwar period, but also for modelers who build 1/35 scale kits from brands like Meng Model.
