Une documentation signée Osprey Publishing le livre «US Submarines 1941–45 – NEW VANGUARD 118» .

Naval warfare in the Pacific changed completely with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The strategic emphasis shifted from battleships to much more lethal, far-ranging weapons systems; one of these was the submarine. This book details the design and development, classes, weapons and equipment, tactics and operational history of the US submarine in World War II. Detailed tables, photographs, and superb color plates depict the force that had an effect far beyond its size – the submarine accounted for 55% of all Japanese shipping losses, despite suffering the highest percentage loss of any unit of the United State Armed Forces in World War II.

Une documentation signée Osprey Publishing le livre «Landing Ship – Tank (LST) 1942–2002 – NEW VANGUARD 115» .

The Landing Ship Tank (LST) is one of the most famous of the many World War II amphibious warfare ships. Capable of discharging its cargo directly on to shore and extracting itself, the LST provided the backbone of all Allied landings between 1943 and 1945, notably during the D-Day invasion. Through its history, the LST saw service from late 1942 until late 2002, when the US Navy decommissioned the USS Frederick (LST-1184), the last ship of its type. This book reveals the development and use of the LST, including its excellence beyond its initial design expectations.

Signed documentation Osprey Publishing le livre «Jeeps 1941–45 – NEW VANGUARD 117» .

The jeep was the most famous military vehicle of World War II, and its name has become synonymous with a whole class of military and civilian all-terrain vehicles. The jeep originated in a prewar US Army requirement for a simple, inexpensive, and robust vehicle for basic utility chores. Its simple design proved to be adaptable to a host of military tasks including use as a scout vehicle, battlefield ambulance, communications vehicle, and staff car. This book, covering “the savior of World War II”, focuses on the design and development of this versatile vehicle used on nearly every front of World War II.

Photo gallery on a fast tank BT-7, Designed in the early thirties, the fast tanks Bt played a major role in the development of the Soviet armoured force. They were the first models of tanks available in large numbers that allowed the development of mechanized doctrines.

Photo gallery on a BT-5, In preparation from the early 1930s, the series of fast tanks Bt played a key role in the establishment and development of the Soviet armoured force. Their main role was to be the first models of tanks available in large numbers which allowed a development of the doctrines of mechanized weapons. The fact that these doctrines were set aside and at least forgotten a little before the beginning of the German invasion is minimal because they allowed the implementation of the following doctrines, which they used the successor of the BT, the T-34.

L’armée américaine a appelé ce type de véhicules « GP » pour une abréviation de « General Purpose » (« usage général » en français). Elles sont considérées comme un des emblèmes de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Au fil des ans, la Jeep de la seconde guerre mondiale a ensuite évolué en « CJ » pour une abréviation de « Civilian Jeep » (Jeep civile en français) et a été reconnu comme un symbole d’aventure.

The Sturmpanzer (also known as Sturmpanzer 43 or Sd.Kfz. 166) was a German armoured infantry support gun based on the Panzer IV chassis used in the Second World War. It was used at the Battles of Kursk, Anzio, Normandy, and was deployed in the Warsaw Uprising. It was known by the nickname Brummbär (German: “Grouch”) by Allied intelligence, a name which was not used by the Germans.
