Professor Porsche's Wars - The Secret Life of Ferdinand Porsche (paperback)

Regarded as one of the great automotive engineers of the twentieth century, Ferdinand Porsche is well remembered today for his remarkable automotive designs including the Volkswagen Beetle and Auto Union Grand Prix cars.
Yet there is another side to his extraordinary career, for he was an equally inventive designer of military vehicles and machinery. In this field too he excelled. Indeed the sheer versatility of his contribution is astonishing. Karl Ludvigsen's study is the definitive guide.

He tells the complete story, focusing on Porsche's relations with the German armed forces and on the stream of advanced designs he was responsible for. Included are Austro Daimler's pioneering aero engines, the Kübelwagen, Schwimmwagen, Type 100 Leopard tank, Ferdinand or Elefant tank destroyer and the astounding Type 205 Maus tank.
He also describes Porsche's creative work on aero engines, tank engines and even a turbojet for the V-1 flying bomb.

Karl Ludvigsen's account confirms the pre-eminence of Ferdinand Porsche as a brilliant and prolific engineer, one of the most remarkable of his generation.

German Military Vehicles in the Spanish Civil War - A Comprehensive Study of the Deployment of German Military Vehicles on the Eve of WW2

A comprehensive and up-to-date study of the combat and logistics vehicles which formed part of the German contingent that fought in the Spanish Civil War alongside the rebels.
The Panzer I, which so surprised the world in the Polish campaign and initially equipped the German Panzerdivisionen, was first seen in the Spanish Civil War, together with a wide range of war materiel such as anti-tank guns, flamethrowers, and so on.

This book looks at a wide range of vehicles: from the humblest motorcycle to the Horch staff car; from Opel Blitz, MAN Diesel, Mercedes, and Krupp trucks to the enormous Vomag 3LR 443 truck; not forgetting all the different types of military ambulances seen in Spain during the war years.
Never has such a comprehensive, painstaking and graphical study been made of vehicles used by the German contingent in the Spanish Civil War. The book contains over 500 top quality images, most of them previously unpublished, with each model that served in Spain perfectly identified.

German Military Vehicles of World War II - An Illustrated Guide to Cars, Trucks, Half-tracks, Motorcycles, Amphibious Vehicles and Others

Presents a cross-section of the most common transport vehicles produced and used by the German army. Tanks plus auxiliary vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, vans, ambulances, trucks and tractors made it possible for the troops to keep moving. These lightly armored or unarmored vehicles - aka "soft skins" - operated behind the front lines, maintaining supply lines, connecting armies with their home bases, and ultimately determining the outcome of battle.

Beginning with the development of military vehicles in the early 1930s, this volume discusses the ways in which this new technology influenced and, to some extent, facilitated Hitler's program of rearmament. Nomenclature, standard equipment, camouflage and the combat roles of the various vehicles are thoroughly examined. Individual vehicle types are arranged and discussed by the following classifications: cars and motorcycles; trucks and tractors; half-tracks and wheeled combat vehicles.
Accompanied by well-researched, detailed line drawings, each section deals with a number of individual vehicles, describing their design, manufacture and specific use.

Handbook on German Military Forces - War Department Technical Manual (TM E 30-451)

Created during WWII by the War Department, the Handbook on German Military Forces was intended to familiarize command staff with nearly every aspect of Hitler's war machine. Originally classified "restricted", the Handbook was created from the best intelligence that the OSS and other military information sources could offer.
It contains comprehensive information and analysis of the German military system, and includes chapters on the organization of Wehrmacht field forces, military and auxiliary organizations (including SS and SA), tactics, fortifications and defenses, movement, supply and evacuation.

It also contains a description of German uniforms and equipment. This includes mechanized forces and weapons from small arms to mortars, artillery, vehicles and tanks, and rocket weapons.
The Handbook's final chapters are devoted to a study of the Luftwaffe, including its chain of command, equipment, training and tactics.

While some of the details within this book may bear review in light of history, it remains one of the most comprehensive compendiums of information about the German forces ever assembled.
Although it was declassified after WWII, it's never been easy to obtain a copy of this book. This high quality reprint includes all the original text, diagrams and photographs from the final, 1945 revised version of the manual.

Militärfahrzeuge des deutschen Heeres 1905-1918 (Typenkompass)

De Duitse keizer Willem II dacht dat motorvoertuigen slechts een tijdelijke trend zouden zijn. In de Eerste Wereldoorlog domineerden dan ook paard en wagen. Toch waren bij het keizerlijke leger ook veel motorfietsen, personen- en vrachtwagens, zware trekkers en tenslotte ook pantserwagens en tanks in dienst.

Dit boek presenteert de belangrijkste voertuigen die tussen 1905 en 1918 bij het Duitse leger in gebruik waren.

Fahrzeuge der Reichswehr - Radfahrzeuge 1920-1935 (Spielberger)

Officially, the Reichswehr of the Weimar period never had more than 100 000 members, no heavy weapons and no armored vehicles; in maneuvers, cars with plywood bodies served as dummy tanks. But secretly, research and work had long been underway; tank prototypes, disguised as "tractors, " drove through the Soviet steppe, and only a few knew about it.
