Artilleriesysteme der NVA

Gepanzerte Rad- und Spezialfahrzeuge der NVA

Even though the large battle tanks usually receive the most public attention, an armored force consists of many more types of tanks, whose areas of responsibility differ greatly from one another, which is why they are also very specialized in terms of design and areas of use. This was also the case in the National People's Army of the GDR.

Pages of the book Gepanzerte Rad- und Spezialfahrzeuge der NVA (1)

In this book, Jörg Siegert describes in words and pictures the armoured wheeled tanks and special vehicles of the military transport, the intelligence and engineering troops, the motor vehicle service and the military construction, as they were in service with the NVA until 1989.
