While World War I introduced the world to modern warfare, it was
World War II that saw the onset and use of motorized vehicles in
combat. This volume 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.
