Rare Wheels, 1. A Pictorial Journey of Lesser- Known Soft-Skins 1934-45.
[336071]

This new book presents many of the lesser-known vehicles that served without glamour or fame around the battlefields of World War Two. Rarely did they receive the headlines from war correspondents, nor were they the stars of the propaganda newsreels, as were the famed Tigers, Panthers and Shermans. Fortunately, many of these anonymous workhorses were captured in photos taken by the soldiers serving alongside them, and thereby preserving a piece of history.
The book is arranged chronologically and starts before the outbreak of war, through Poland and Europe and on to the Eastern Front and North Africa before ending with the surrender of German forces in Czechoslovakia. With more than 120 b/w pictures.
