Photo gallery on a BT-2 tank, Designed in the early thirties, the BT fast tanks 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. Although these doctrines were brought into dispute and forgotten just before the beginning of the German invasion, they paved the way for those later who used the BT descendant, the T-34.

The Ordnance Quick-Firing 17 pounder (or just 17 pdr) was a 76.2 mm (3 inch) gun developed by the United Kingdom during World War II. It was used as an anti-tank gun on its own carriage, as well as equipping a number of British tanks. It was the most effective Allied anti-tank gun of the war. Used with the APDS shot it was capable of defeating all but the thickest armour on German tanks. It was used to ‘up-gun’ some foreign-built vehicles in British service, notably the Sherman Firefly, giving British tank units the ability to hold their own with their German counterparts. In the anti-tank role it was replaced by the 120 mm BAT recoilless rifle after the war. As a tank gun it was succeeded by the 20 pounder.

Originally designed as a fire support tank, with a short 75 mm gun, for the Panzerkampfwagen III, it eventually replaced the panzerkampfwagen III when allied tanks became too protected for the pan. Re-equipped with a long anti-tank gun, the PzKpfW IV was the main German tank during the second part of the war with more than 9000 copies produced and gave birth to many versions.

A book from Osprey Publishing the book «M3 Lee/Grant Medium Tank 1941–45 – NEW VANGUARD 113» .

The highly successful ‘stop-gap’ M3 medium tank was designed in 1941, and as adequate turret casting facilities were not yet ready, the M3 used an unusual armament configuration patterned after a French tank. British lend-lease demands led to the design of a second turret type with the US version called the Lee and the British version the Grant. It could penetrate Panzer armor, and its explosive firepower was excellent for dealing with German anti-tank guns. This book covers the design, development, service and variants of a vehicle that was the backbone of many World War II forces.

A book signed by Osprey Publishing the «Universal Carrier 1936–48 – NEW VANGUARD 110» .

The Universal Carrier was a fast, lightly armed vehicle developed by the British Army to carry infantry across ground defended by small-arms fire, specifically the Bren light machine gun, hence the name ‘Bren Gun Carrier’. This name would stick with the Universal Carrier and all of its future variants. This book details the Carrier, which was employed in a number of roles including carrying ammunition and towing anti-aircraft guns and trailers. All Allies used the Universal Carrier extensively during practically every World War II campaign. By the war’s end, the Universal Carrier had proved itself to be an invaluable and successful cross-country vehicle that was both agile and fast for its time.
