Description

Beute-Tanks
British Tanks in German Service Vol. 1
The birth of the German Panzerwaffe in World War One is for many enthusiasts mostly linked to Germany’s own development, the A7V. However, it is hard fact that most of the tanks serving on the German side in the Great War were of British origin. Captured British Mk.IV Beute-Tanks shaped the core of German ambitions towards an own armoured corps. This two-volume publication grants for the first time a truly comprehensive look into the capture and deployment of these vehicles by offering chapters on:
Vol. 1

– To the Green Fields Beyond – Cambrai 1917
– Lumber and Canvas – German Dummy Tanks
– Battlefield Booty – German Tank Recovery
– Towards Captured Tank Detachments
– Bayerischer Armee-Kraftwagen-Park 20
– Beute – The Mk. IV Tank in German Service
– Forming Beute-Abteilungen 11 to 16
– Numbers, Names, Camouflage and Markings
– The French Connection
– The Mark IV in Detail and Colour
Vol. 2
– Beute-Tank Combat Engagements
– The German Plan 1919
– German Anti-Tank Activities in 1918
– Relics – The Fort de la Pompelle
Tank Caper
– Captured Whippets
– Captured Tanks in Freikorps
Service 1919-20
