(Subject: Land Vehicles & Weapons - General) In World War II, aside from the battlefields in the West, the Eastern Front and in North Africa, there was another small area where the Panzers ruled: the OZAK (Operations Area Adriatic Coastland), a large area which included the north-eastern border regions of Italy and parts of present-day Slovenia and Croatia. What makes this area so unique are the German armoured formations deployed there with an exceptional range of strange vehicles, which could be found nowhere else on any other frontline of World War Two. This publication looks at this exciting area of Wehrmacht Panzer history. Anglo German text and captions.

(Subject: Land Vehicles & Weapons - General) This is a much expanded and updated edition of the author’s original Israeli Sherman, published in 2001 and long out-of-print. Following a general description of the basic M4 series, the humble beginning of the very first Sherman in service in 1948 is covered in detail. Hundreds of black-and-white photographs trace the evolution of Israel’s Shermans from cobbled-together veterans of the Second World War into some of the most lethal variants of the series ever conceived. There is also coverage of specialised vehicles, such as ARVs, dozers and mine clearing vehicles. The various types used in the War of Independence, the 1956 Sinai Campaign, the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War are all covered in depth. There are also a few never-before-published photographs of the unique APC developed by Lebanese engineers and used by the South Lebanon Army.
