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 […]
Top of the morning/afternoon to you Panzerwreckers. Florian Bürger emailed me last week regarding the location of the Sturmgeschütz IV on page 21 of Panzerwrecks. Over to you Florian: Thank you very much for the excellent #21! As always a pleasure reading the book. But the text on page 21 about the location of the […]
Olivier Lefebvre touched base today with a location for ‘Charfours’ on page 16 of Panzerwrecks 21. Over to you Olivier: The location is not Charfours but Chaufour in the Yvelines (near Vernon), which I happened to pass through a few times since I live nearby. Thanks to Google Streetview I managed to get views from […]
Javier Tomé contacted me this week regarding the Jagdtigers in Panzerwrecks 21: I am very fond of Panzerwrecks books although this time I disagree with the Jagdtiger captions: The Strengberg Jagdtiger was captured on 8 May 1945. The date welded on the front armor is 5 May, but local history and 65th ID reports say […]
For reasons lost to time, I managed to mirror the image of the Tiger II on page 262 of Duel in the Mist 3. Apologies for being a buffoon – it’s completely my fault and not the authors. Wrong: Right:
William Horn contacted me a couple of weeks ago regarding the Panther on page 64 of Panzerwrecks 14: I have recently acquired volume 14. On the lower picture on page 64 you claim that the vehicle is a Panther A. If you look at the jack block rack, the small cable rack, and the position […]
Oops. It was bound to happen. It has. I forgot to thank an important contributor to the book: Martin Block. You should have been there in the credits Martin, my sincerest apologies. I have always tried to give credit where due, and in reality books such as these are the work of many minds.
Hats off to Janez Čokl for correcting the location of the Jagdpanzer 38 on page 60 of Panzerwrecks 19: Yugoslavia. Over to Janez: I saw one location mistake in Panzerwrecks 19 (nice work). Photo of Hetzer on page 60 was taken in Celje, not in Maribor. (Google street view link) Probably was the same vehicle as those on […]
Perry Rowe got in touch with an update as to the location of the photos on pages 86-89 of Panzerwrecks 13: Italy 2. Over to you Perry: I was just looking through this again and noticed the caption to the series of pics pp86-89. Daniele Guglielmi has wrongly ascribed these to Salerno in Sept ’43 […]
From Paul Hocking: Some information to correct the comments on page 71 of PzW #17. The OOB listed on page 71 for Fs AA 12 is completely misrepresented and inaccurate, I am afraid that Fred Deprun has followed a wrong trail about this unit’s OOB. To explain, in a book by Didier Lodieu called “Dying […]
