Tanks - 100 Years of Evolution

Offers a detailed, analytical and comprehensive account of the worldwide evolution of tanks, from their inception a century ago to the present day. With new ideas stemming from the latest academic research, this study presents a reappraisal of the development of tanks and their evolution during World War I and how the surge in technological development during World War II and the subsequent Cold War drove tank developments in Europe and America, transforming tanks into fast, resilient and powerful fighting machines.
From the primitive, bizarre-looking Mark V to the Matilda and from the menacing King Tiger to the superlative M1 Abrams, Professor Ogorkiewicz shows how tanks gradually acquired the enhanced capabilities that enabled them to become what they are today - the core of combined-arms, mechanized warfare.

Contents: Introduction - Acknowledgements - The Origin of the Species - The 'Invention of the Tank' - First World War Battlefield Debut - Post-War Anticlimax - Britain's Lead and Failings - Tank Development in Europe and America - Creation of the Armoured Forces - Panzers and their Second World War Opponents - The Cold War's Five Dominant Countries - On the Peripheries of Major Powers - Asia Catches Up - Epilogue - Appendixes - Notes - Index.

NATO and Warsaw Pact Tanks of the Cold War

Led by the USA with Western European partners, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed in 1949 to counter the Soviet threat. In response the Soviet Union assembled and dominated the Warsaw Pact in 1954.
The mainstay of both alliances' groundforces were their main battle tanks (MBTs).

Initially both sides relied on Second World War MBTs; in NATO's case the Sherman medium tank and its successor the M26 Pershing together with the British Centurion and the heavy Conqueror.

The Soviets originally fielded the T-34-85 medium tank and the IS-2 and IS-3 heavy tank replaced by the T-10. Next came the T-54 followed by the T-55 and 155mm armed T-63 (1965). The final WP Cold War MBTs were the T-64, T-72 and T-80 all with 122mm main armament.

By contrast, NATO nations increasingly deployed a range of MBTs; the widely used American Patton series (M46 through M48), British Chieftain (1963) and Challenger (1982), French AMX-13 (1950) and AMX-30.
From 1963 the Bundeswehr was equipped with the homegrown Leopard 1 and 2. The US M60 series and M1 Abrams came into service from 1980.

These and more MBTs and variants are covered in expert detail in this superbly illustrated book.

Meilensteine der Panzerentwicklung - Panzerkonzepte und Baugruppentechnologie

Bei der Realisierung der ersten Tanks bestand die Herausforderung darin, brauchbare Motoren, Getriebe, Lenkeinrichtungen und Fahrwerke zu erfinden.
Während in den ersten 50 Jahren der Panzerentwicklung die Fortschritte durch Verbesserungen im Bereich des Maschinenbaus und der Elektromechanik erreicht wurden, beruhten in den letzten 50 Jahren die Leistungssteigerungen im Einzug elektronischer Komponenten und der Verknüpfung von mechanischen und elektronischen Elementen mit einer leistungsfähigen Datenverarbeitung.
Rolf Hilmes schildert in diesem Band die technologische Entwicklung bis zu den heutigen Kampfpanzern.
