Duel in the Mist 2 Errata: Part 1

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.

“Duel in the Mist 2” – Cheers for that.

Forget “Bulge,” “Patton,” and words like “Nuts!” and remember “Duel in the Mist 2.’ It is an important telling of important events and will not disappoint. That’s “Duel in the Mist 2,” the second volume in the saga of the Leibstandarte and Kampfgruppe Peiper in the Ardennes Offensive. If pitched by Hollywood agents, they would […]

Martin Block emailed us with confirmation of the unit for the M41 90/53 801(i) on pages 44 & 45 of Panzerwrecks 9: “These days I was approached by an Italian researcher who had some questions about the II./Pz.Rgt. 26 in September 1943. Searching for answers to his questions I was browsing through the ‘Zustandsberichte’ of the […]

Panzerwrecks 11: Normandy Marders: Unit and Location Identification from Niels Henkemans

The vehicle on p.21-23 matches a vehicle that was destroyed near Isigny, [and points to] Pzj.Abt.352.

Page 52: It is certain the vehicle was photographed at the […]

Panzerwrecks 8: Corrections and Clarifications from Niels Henkemans

Niels Henkemans was kind enough to share some of his expertise on the Normandy campaign with us: “The Stu.Gesch. on p.32 and 33 clearly belonged to Stu.Gesch.Abt.1243 (the renamed 2./Pzj.Abt.243) as it was the only formation with those vehicles in the area. You can also ask Martin about this as we have been discussing this […]

Panzerwrecks 12 P58: Possible unit ID

Sergio Molinelli got in touch with us to say that he thinks the insignia shown on the M8(a) armoured car fitted with an MG 151/15 is that of StuG Brigade 286.

In Memory of ‘Sarge’ Bealko: 28 May 1924 to 30 March 2011.

In “Panzerwrecks 12” we ran a feature entitled, “Sarge Bealko Shoots a Tiger II.” ‘Sarge’ was Ed Bealko, the vet who took the photos in Mons, Belgium, all those years ago. He generously provided the originals to us so that we could present them in our books. Ed was just a teenager when he drove […]
