Description
Who set his own tank alight with petrol? How do you recover two tanks from a 40-foot drop? Who or what was ‘Apple Sammy’? What was Bostik used for? Who lost five Achilles to Tigers in one engagement? The answers to these and other questions can be found here in Panzerwrecks 28, featuring 156 rare and unpublished large-format photographs from around the world, along with six pages of specially commissioned diptych artworks by Felipe Rodna.
Covering British, Canadian, Polish, and New Zealand units, this volume continues the Panzerwrecks tradition of bringing frontline armoured warfare to life through the lens of those who were there.
