Greetings Panzerwreckers, Andrew Deely and Angus Creighton have burnt the midnight oil to bring us an index of vehicles in each of the Panzerwrecks Series books. This will be updated as new books are published. As time permits, I will look into compiling this into a searchable database, but for now, you can download a PDF, just […]
Greetings Panzerwreckers. Michel Van den Berghe got in touch recently with an exact location of the M36 TDs at Büsbach from page 103 of Forgotten Archives 2: Konrad – Adenauer Strasse. Thanks Michel.
From ‘Current Reports from overseas No.82’, I found this narrative of the ‘Raamsdonk Terrier Battle’ as featured in Panzerwrecks 18, pages 66-73: Introduction 1. This report of an action by a troop of Sherman tanks and an infantry platoon affords a good example of quick thinking and initiative on the part of individual tank commanders. […]
I’ve mentioned this before, on Facebook, but Panzerwrecks did not publish Duel in the Mist 1, so it is not ours to reprint. We published volumes 2 & 3, with 4 ‘in the works’.
Predrag Blanusa touched base a couple of months back, with useful nuggets of information about the RSO on page 73 of PW1. Over to Predrag: I was recently expanding one of my databases with information from several Waffen-SS documents, when I stumbled upon a familiar license plate number – SS-224 784. The source for my […]
Daniele Guglielmi, long-time ‘friend of Panzerwrecks family’ sent in some additional information regarding some of the subjects in Panzerwrecks 19: Yugoslavia. Over to you Daniele: Pages 10 and 11, one of the Semovente L40 da 47/32 is an early production (it had the side hatch, even if welded shut in the factory), the other one is […]
Rudi Schoeters dropped me a line a wee while back (March!) about some of the vehicles in Panzerwrecks 16: Bulge, and only now do I get the time to add his information to the blog. Over to Rudi: Page 37 The Pz.Beob.Wg.III in Houffalize: the top left pic shows clearly that this vehicle has two different […]
Just realized that I made a near-perfect “Now” picture of the Middelburg Stadthuis on p.55 in PW18 when I was on holiday in the Netherlands in August this year. It lacked the situational awareness that I had seen the picture a month before in your pdf-file. But the penny dropped when flipping through the book. […]
Interestingly enough, on 23 April 1945, the 47th AFA Bn fired Concentration 52 at a “20mm on truck,” using 25 rounds of M48 and 2 rounds of WP. “Effect: vehicle destroyed, burning.” The 234/1? They also threw in a lot of Pozit-fuzed rounds: April 12 con.15 Personnel, 68 Rds M54, 20 Pozit. April 13 con.14 […]
Every once in a while, when deadlines loom and Lee and I are having a “Hurtgen Forest” Moment (each wishing to kill the other, but each too mentally and physically exhausted to lift a finger), it is inevitable that information comes to light that can only seem tangential to the subject matter at hand, and […]
