Never one to put his feet up, Darren ‘Forgotten Archives’ Neely has more information and photos of the Pz.Kpfw.IVs shown on pages 72 and 73 of Panzerwrecks 21. Over to Darren: Two Panzer IVs originally identified as 116th KG Bayer from November 1944 are actually from the 2nd company I. /Panzer Regiment 33 of the […]
Greetings Panzerwreckers, Panzers in Berlin 1945 is progressing well and we are (currently) on track to meet our spring publication date. With this date being a wee while away, there are still plenty of things and people that could delay it … What started life as a 112-page softcover ‘In Focus’ book has blossomed into […]
Greetings Panzerwreckers David Šolc has been in touch once again to put a location to a Jagdpanzer in InFocus 1. Over to David: I have another addition for you. Now it’s about photography on the side number 72 of your Jagdpanzer 38 IN FOCUS 1 book. Same footage you can find in this Deutsche Wochenschau from November 1944: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlRWPm43V-E […]
Often, the search for that missing tidbit of information or morcel throws up unexpected results. A case in point here is the US Army motion picture coverage in Panzerwrecks 6 and an email spat with Bill Auerbach in 2007 and one with Darren Neely in March 2018. Darren had accessed the film showing the Sd.Kfz.251/22, […]
I think the best way to sum up 2018 for Panzerwrecks is “behind schedule”. We’d planned to publish more that we actually achieved for a start. Panzerwrecks 22: Desert made it out of the computer and into your hands. The book had been a work in progress of mine for many years, and was surprisingly […]

Drop us a line so […]
Greetings Panzerwreckers, David Šolc reached out earlier this week with a definitive location for the location of the two Sd.Kfz.251/22s on page 90 of Panzerwrecks 18: Havlíčkův Brod airport. Thanks David! Know something we don’t? Drop us a line so we can tell the world.
Paul Hocking dropped us a line recently with a correction for the unit insignia on page 42 of Panzerwrecks 22. Over to Paul: “My reason for writing is to offer a correction again some insignia seen on page 42, that is German insignia on a US halftrack. It is captioned as the 7th Flieger Division, but […]
Greetings Panzerwreckers. Martin Cavell recently touched base clarifying what the item is on the roof of the Beobachtungswagen on page 75 of Panzerwrecks X. Over to Martin: “Re-reading the excellent PW10, I figured something out, but it’s almost too trivial to share. P. 75, the Pz.Beob.Wg.IV. The “box like item” obscuring the TSR1 mount to […]
Greeting Panzerwreckers. If you’ve been waiting for Vyacheslav Kozitsyn’s book Sturmgeschütz III and Sturmhaubitze 42, you will no doubt have been frustrated at the seemingly constant delays and pushing back of the publication date. Until now, this had been due to a Russian establishment working at a snail’s pace, and I am pleased to say that […]
