O tanque M4 Sherman foi o pilar dos aliados ocidentais entre 1942 e 1945. Rápido e moderno, foi um grande sucesso e foi transportado para tão longe quanto a Rússia e o norte da África. O Chefe do Estado-Maior americano afirmou em novembro de 1943 que foi "amplamente aclamado como o melhor tanque no campo de batalha hoje...". No entanto, pela invasão da Normandia em junho de 1944, este não foi o caso: os novos tanques pesados alemães, como o Panther e o Tiger, estavam superando completamente o Sherman. Este título cobre a versão M4 armada com o canhão de 76 mm, examinando desenvolvimentos como a suspensão HVSS, usando muito material de arquivo novo.

Um livro assinado por Editora Osprey the «German Battleships 1939–45 – NEW VANGUARD 71» . In this, the first of a five volume series covering the capital ships of the German Navy of World War II, Gordon Williamson examines the design, development and operational use of the battleships used by the Kriegsmarine. The ‘Schlesien’ and ‘Schleswig-Hostein’ were used mostly as training ships until the end of the war when they took part in bombardment of Soviet troop movements in East Prussia. The ‘Scharnhorst’ had a successful career until her sinking at the battle of the North Cape, and the ‘Gneisenau’ with her ignominious end as a block-ship. Bismarck’s short but glorious career and Tirpitz’s lonely vigil in Norway’s distant Fjords until sunk by RAF bombers using the massive ‘Tallboy’ bombs are also covered.

Documentação assinada Editora Osprey le livre «Infantry Mortars of World War II – NEW VANGUARD 54» .

The mortar has proved to be one of the most influential and prevalent infantry support weapons of the 20th century. Throughout the course of World War II many different varieties of this weapon were used by the six main armies of the war: Britain, the USA, the Soviet Union, Germany Italy and Japan. Although the concept of the mortar was similar throughout these armies, calibres and usage varied enormously, dependent upon tactical use and terrain. This title covers all variants from the British 3-in.-equipped ‘Heavy Weapon Companies’, through to the Soviet12cm mortars, which were incorporated into the Tank Corps for the storming of Berlin in 1945.

Com a eclosão da Segunda Guerra Mundial, a Alemanha havia feito muito para substituir a Frota de Alto Mar do Kaiser, que foi afundada após sua rendição no final da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Embora as unidades pesadas da frota fossem muito pequenas em número para representar uma grande ameaça, a Alemanha era particularmente bem servida pelos navios menores de sua Marinha, em particular os U-Boats e os S-Boats. Conhecidos pelos aliados como os E-Boats ("Inimigos"), eles desempenharam tarefas esterlinas no Mar Negro e no Canal da Mancha, onde se tornaram um flagelo particular.

Um livro assinado por Editora Osprey the «M10 and M36 Tank Destroyers 1942–53 – NEW VANGUARD 57» .

The US Army had a unique tactical doctrine during World War II, placing the emphasis for tank fighting on its Tank Destroyer Command whose main early-war vehicle was the M10 | 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage, based on the reliable M4A2 Sherman tank chassis. This durable and versatile vehicle saw combat service from the North Africa campaign in 1943. By 1944, its gun was not powerful enough and it was rearmed with the new 90 mm gun, becoming the M36 90mm Gun Motor Carriage. This book details one of the only US armoured vehicles capable of dealing with the Panther and Tiger during the Battle of the Bulge.

This title follows from New Vanguard 51: Kriegsmarine Submarinos 1939–45 (1) and charts the continuing development of the U-boat in German service, including the evolution of the Type IX as a long range ‘cruiser’ intended for solo operations in distant waters. Also covered is the revolutionary Type XXI, conceived of in 1942 and launched in April 1944, the first true submarine rather than submersible, whose arrival was just too late to influence the war. Other vessels covered are the Type XXIII, a small vessel armed with only two torpedoes but technically highly advanced, and the Type X minelayers, which were rarely used in their intended role and more often used as supply boats.

Um livro assinado por Editora Osprey the «Kriegsmarine U-boats 1939–45 (1) – NEW VANGUARD 51» .

This, the first of two volumes on Germany’s World War II U-boats, traces their development from the early U-boats of the Kaiser’s Navy, the prohibition on Germany having U-boats following the Armistice in 1918 and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles, the secret development of U-boats using a ‘cover-firm’ in Holland, culminating in the formation of the 1st U-boat Flotilla in 1935 with the modern Type II. The operational history section includes examples from the Classes Type VIIA, Type VIIB, VIID, VIIE and VIIF before concentrating on the mainstay of the U-boat arm, the Type VIIC. Comparisons are also made with the standard allied submarines, their strengths, weaknesses and U-boat tactics.

The Panzerkampfwagen IV was one of the most numerous and successful German tanks of World War II. Despite the introduction of the Panther and Tiger tanks, the PzKpfw IV remained the backbone of the German armoured units until the end of the war. This book details all of the variants of the Panzerkampfwagen IV with the long guns 7.5cm KwK 40 L/43 and L/48. Until 1942 armed with a short 7.5cm KwK L/24, it was used primarily in an infantry support role. However with the upgrading to the long 7.5cm it became the main battle tank of the Panzer Divisions.

Um livro assinado por Editora Osprey the «Sturmgeschütz III and IV 1942–45 – NEW VANGUARD 37» .

As the Second World War dragged on, heavy German losses in armoured vehicles and tanks ensured that assault gun units had to play an increasingly vital role in supporting the beleaguered infantry and countering Allied armour, particularly on the Eastern Front. The Sturmgeschütz was one of the most numerously produced and effectively deployed of the German armoured vehicles. This book reveals how the Sturmgeschütz provided the backbone of Germany’s armoured forces in every theatre and on every front during the long fighting-retreat of the final years of the war.

O Jagdpanzer 38 é um dos mais conhecidos veículos de combate blindados alemães da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Apressado na produção em série no tempo recorde de menos de quatro meses, foi instantaneamente reconhecível pela aparência elegante criada por sua armadura bem inclinada. Muitos especialistas em armadura do pós-guerra sustentam a opinião de que este destroier de tanques foi apenas a resposta para o problema da Alemanha de lidar com o tanque americano M4 Medium numericamente superior (conhecido pelo Exército Britânico como Sherman) e o russo T-34.
