Thanks for another welcome edition of Pz Wrks. The “old hare” Pz IV hybrid Ausf. F2 (Ausf.G) on page 70, 71 also appears on Page 5. Compare the: 1. Steel return rollers, (rare on this Ausf.) 2. The back-folded 8mm turret schürzen with AP round damage. 3. Spare track lying across the side fender. 4. Twisted […]

I received an email from my friend Daniele Guglielmi, author of many Italian theatre books, with a few corrections and observations. Over to you Daniele: Page 1, you can see at lest three types of tyres on the AB41s: two of Celerflex models (taken from trucks), and Artiglio di sicurezza (run-flat, very rare). It’s possible […]
Conscientious authors that they are, the Duel in the Mist team have been finding a few things that needed correction. Over to them: No Hellcats P.8 This reserve was the result of the recent conversion to the mobile M-10 Wolverine tank destroyer. The 2nd Platoon, already equipped with four M-10 TD’s, had originally been with […]
The vehicle on p.21-23 matches a vehicle that was destroyed near Isigny, [and points to] Pzj.Abt.352. Shots of a Panzerjager 35R(f) at the same dump support a link with 352.Inf.Div. as Schnelle Brig. 30 fought with that division from the beginning of the invasion. Page 52: It is certain the vehicle was photographed at the […]
Dear interested readers of RtP1 First, we need to apologize to Kevin Fish whom we forgot to put in the acknowledgements on page 6 even though he was among the generous donors of photos (see the photos on pages 121-123 marked correctly KF). He is an author himself (Panzer Regiment 8: In World War II […]
If the step under the driver’s cab is one of the identifiers of a m.Spruehkw. (Sd.Kfz.11/3), then the vehicles on pages 63, 76 and 84 (first vehicle on rail car) are indeed the m.Spruehkw. (Sd.Kfz.11/3) and not the m.Entg.Kw. (Sd.Kfz.11/2). Note the step appeared on both sides of the vehicle. My apologies for these errors.
Panzerwrecks X is shaping up as the one Panzerwrecks with the most mis-identifications – so far. David Roy was good enough to notice that the vehicle on Pages 76-77 of PWX is a Sturmhaubitze 42 Ausf G, not a Sturmgeschütz III Ausf G. “On the StuH, the welded mantlet barrel shroud tapers at the end […]
Back in December of 2007, we received a letter from Dr NCHM Heitman regarding various German AFVs identified as being in the Netherlands. Parts of his letter are reproduced here for the benefit of our readers: “After having greatly enjoyed the 5 Volumes (so far) in the Panzerwrecks series I feel I should react to […]
We received a message from David. R. Roy pointing out what should have been obvious to us; that the Panzer IV/70(V) on page 2 is actually a Befehlswagen. If the tactical number of ‘201’ (a company commander’s vehicle) did not give it away, it should have been the extra antenna mount clearly visible on the […]
Stefano Di Giusto also enlightened us about the P40s on page 59: “The P-40s of Polizei-Panzer-Kp. 15 carried a number on the nose, exactly as the P40 on page 59; a series of photos of the company surrender inNovaraat the end of April 1945 are in Daniele Gugliemi’s book Italian tanks on German service.” So, […]
