During the glory years of blitzkrieg the PzKpfw III was the only weapon in the German tank arsenal that really counted. Like Napoleon’s vieux moustaches, it did not merely witness history in the making – it made it, from the Channel to the Volga, and from the Arctic to the North African desert. It was the PzKpfw III that brought Hitler to the gates of Moscow and the closest to achieving his wildest dreams. This detailed study delves into the development and employment of the PzKpfw III, as well as its organisation and battlefield experience, illustrated by an examination of the battles in which it took part.

En bog signeret af Fiskeørn Publishing the «SdKfz 251 Half-Track 1939–45 – NEW VANGUARD 25» .

Following in the best traditions of German ingenuity in design and construction of armoured vehicles, the SdKfz 251 firmly realised the concept of a competent cross-country tactical vehicle for armoured infantry units. So successful was this half-track that not only did a modified version of it remain in use with Czech forces well into the 1980s but also, ironically, the armoured infantry tactics that the Germans pioneered with it were adopted by Allied forces in the Second World War and helped them to achieve the eventual defeat of Germany. This book covers the genesis and development of the SdKfz 251, and details the numerous modifications and variations that sprang from combat experience.

Un livre signé Fiskeørn Publishing le livre «Panther Varianter 1942–45 - NY VANGUARD 22» .

The Panther Medium Tank was produced as a direct result of early experiences with the revolutionary Soviet T-34/76. Designers and military experts combined to produce a number of variations to provide armoured support for the many branches of the German army. Whether acting as a command communications vehicle, involved in mobile air defence as a flakpanzer, a Panzer division recovery vehicle, or utilising the turret as a static defence system, the Panther in its many forms was the mainstay of Germany’s plan to keep her enemies at bay on two fronts. This book, the product of 25 years of research, examines the numerous Panther variants in detail.

The T-34-85 tank is one of those rare weapons that have remained in service for more than half a century. First introduced in 1944, it has seen combat in nearly every corner of the globe. Steven Zaloga and Jim Kinnear look at this long-serving tank at length. Although long obsolete in Europe, it has proven a reliable and potent weapon in many Third World conflicts, and is still in service with more than a dozen armies around the world.

En bog signeret af Fiskeørn Publishing the «Sturmgeschütz III Assault Gun 1940–42 – NEW VANGUARD 19» .

The workhorse of the German Army that swept across Poland, France and Russia, the Sturmgeschütz III saw service in all theatres of World War II, both in an infantry support role and as a tank destroyer. Cheaper and quicker to produce than a tank, the assault gun proved a remarkably effective weapon. Its design and development, production, capabilities and operational history are all closely examined, as is its tactical employment and organisation into units. This book uses original German combat and experience reports to show how the Sturmgeschütz fared in action, whilst also providing information on both retrofitted and production modifications.

En bog signeret af Fiskeørn Publishing the «KV-1 & 2 Heavy Tanks 1939–45 – NEW VANGUARD 17»

Named after Klimenti Voroshilov, the People’s Commissar for Defence, the KVs proved a nasty surprise for German tank crews during the early days of Operation Barbarossa. Although slow, they were extremely heavily armoured. This volume examines the transition from multi-turreted tanks to heavy single-turret vehicles, consisting of the KV-1 and 2, and the increased favour given to the heavy single-turret after the Germans began to develop ammunition capable of penetrating even the thickest armour, whilst detailing the design, development and operational history of the Soviet Union’s monstrous KV series of tanks.

En bog signeret af Fiskeørn Publishing the «Flammpanzer German Flamethrowers 1941–45 – NEW VANGUARD 15» .

The first attempt at mounting a flamethrower in a German tank was not the result of an engineering design process but rather occurred as a field expedient, when German troops involved in the Spanish Civil War mounted small back-pack flamethrowers on their PzKpfw Is. The German authorities took up this idea and from early 1939 began to design a flamethrowing tank based on the Panzer II. This was the first in a long line of German tanks to be equipped with flamethrowers. During World War II versions of the Panzer III, Sturmgeschütz and half-track were all given flamethrowers. This book examines their development, weapons and operational use, often using original German combat reports

En bog signeret Fiskeørn Publishing magasinet «Crusader and Covenanter Cruiser Tanks 1939–45 – NEW VANGUARD 14» .

Den Covenanter (som aldrig har været i aktiv tjeneste) og Korsfarer Krydserkampvogne blev udviklet mellem 1939 og 1940. Den Korsfarer første gang i kamp i den nordafrikanske ørken i juni 1941: dens hastighed og slanke design gjorde den til et svært mål at ramme, og kampvognen var velrespekteret af Afrikakorps for sin hastighed i kamp. Men dens forhastede udvikling før Anden Verdenskrig gjorde den også tilbøjelig til mekaniske fejl. Denne bog undersøger Covenanter og de mange varianter af Crusader-kampvognen og beskriver designet, udviklingen og skuffelserne af disse berygtede kampvogne fra Anden Verdenskrig.

En bog signeret af Fiskeørn Publishing «BMP infanterikampkøretøj 1967–94 – NY FORTROP 12» .

Det russiske BMP infanterikampkøretøj (IFV) var en af de mest betydningsfulde innovationer inden for infanteritaktik i sidste halvdel af det 20. århundrede. Bygget som reaktion på truslen om atomkrigsførelse var det verdens første IFV, der gav infanterigruppen hidtil uset ildkraft, mobilitet og beskyttelse. Med over 55.000 producerede siden 1966 er BMP også numerisk et af de vigtigste pansrede køretøjer, der nogensinde er bygget. Denne rigt illustrerede bog undersøger udviklingen og designet af BMP og beskriver dets våben, ydeevne i kamp og varianter.

The Warrior has been an important component of the British Army since the first production example was handed over in May 1987. It has seen action in many parts of the globe and the British Army alone uses eight different specialised versions of the vehicle, while Desert and Arctic Warriors are also produced for countries with extreme climates. In this authoritative text Christopher Foss examines the development and operational life of the Warrior, the British army’s most modern armoured personnel carrier, and its many variants, focussing on its role in ‘Desert Storm’ and other campaigns.
