It played a key role in the armoured battles fought on the Western Front, in particular in France, the Low Countries, Germany and Italy.  Built on an adapted Sherman chassis, with sloped armour, an open-topped turret and powerful 17-pounder gun, it was designed to counter the threat posed by the formidable panzers deployed by the German army towards the end of the conflict, in particular the Panther and Tiger tanks.  The book covers the design and operational history of the Achilles in close detail, using rare archive photographs and meticulously researched colour illustrations, as well as a detailed, authoritative text.  A key section displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined providing everything the modeller needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic armoured fighting vehicles.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730518712593,"sku":"NGR9781526741905","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50336196854033,"sku":"GOR010145097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331785752849,"sku":"CIN1526741903G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526741903.jpg?v=1751340458"},{"product_id":"cromwell-and-centaur-tanks-book-dennis-oliver-9781526725417","title":"Cromwell and Centaur Tanks","description":"Designed with the hard lessons of the North African campaign in mind, including the adoption of a dual-purpose gun capable of firing high-explosive and anti-tank rounds, the Cromwell was one of the most successful of the British cruiser tanks produced during the Second World War.  The lack of heavy armour was made up for by the tank's high speed provided by a Rolls-Royce Meteor engine. The Centaur was externally almost identical to the Cromwell, the major difference being the installation of the less powerful Liberty engine. While the Centaur equipped the Royal Marines during the Normandy battles, the Cromwell served until the end of the war and formed the basis for the Comet.  In his fifth book in the TankCraft series, author and illustrator Dennis Oliver uses official wartime photographs and comprehensively researched, exquisitely presented colour profiles to tell the story of the penultimate British cruiser tank. In common with all the titles from the TankCraft series, the large full-colour section features available model kits and accessories as well as aftermarket products.  In addition to the colour profiles there is a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models. A separate section explains technical details and modifications made during production and in the field, giving the modeller all the information required to recreate an authentic replica of one of the tanks that served from the Normandy beaches to the final battles in Germany.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731779100945,"sku":"NGR9781526725417","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50540473975057,"sku":"GOR011890768","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331555361041,"sku":"CIN152672541XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51360824099089,"sku":"GOR010136636","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51379136168209,"sku":"GOR014247000","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/152672541X.jpg?v=1751244466"},{"product_id":"stug-iii-and-iv-book-dennis-oliver-9781526755865","title":"Stug III and IV","description":"A detailed design and operational history of the StuG III and StuG IV.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49733179638033,"sku":"NGR9781526755865","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526755866.jpg?v=1751055231"},{"product_id":"jagdpanther-tank-destroyer-book-dennis-oliver-9781526710895","title":"Jagdpanther Tank Destroyer","description":"Combining the destructive firepower of the 88mm gun with the outstanding mobility of the Panther series, the Jagdpanther is quite probably the best-known tank destroyer of the Second World War.

The Wehrmacht's armoured and mobile formations were now employed exclusively as fire brigades, rushed from one crisis to the next as the Red Army pushed inexorably westward. Critical to the German defence were the army's heavy Panzer battalions whose Tiger tanks, with their 8.8cm guns, were almost invincible on the open plains of central Europe.

It outnumbered all the other types in service with the Afrikakorps at that time and when compared to the Pzkpfw I and Pzkpfw II designs it was a potent, modern weapons system. Although less heavily armoured than its British opponents it was sturdy and reliable and its main armament was the equal of any enemy anti-tank gun it was called upon to face. This volume of the TankCraft series, the first of two parts, examines the story of the tank's North African service beginning with the arrival of Panzer-Regiment 5 in Tripoli and ending with the advance to El Alamein in late 1942.

But in early 1944, with the landings at Anzio and Nettuno and the attempt to bypass the German defensive line, the Wehrmacht's high command began shipping heavier and more powerful tanks to the Southern Front including an increasing number Tigers and Panthers. The initial models of the latter had gone into combat for the first time in July 1943 and it was planned that every Panzer regiment would eventually contain a battalion of these impressive vehicles. Drawing on official documentation and unit histories Dennis Oliver investigates the formations that operated these deservedly famous vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Pzkpfw V tanks that wee an integral part of the German defence of the Italian peninsula.

The first models of these tanks had entered service in November 1937 and although replacements had been considered, the original design was continually up-gunned and up-armoured. Perhaps lacking the glamour of the Panther and Tiger, the most recent variant, the Pzkpfw IV ausf H, was at least the equal of the best British and American tanks.

Operating in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth the Pzkpfw III was at the forefront of the dramatic advances of 1941 and the defensive efforts of the following year, all undertaken in the incredible vastness of the Libyan desert.

But the part played by the British commonwealth armoured units in the Italian campaign is less well known and in his latest volume in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver uses wartime photos, extensively researched text and highly-detailed colour illustrations to cover the Sherman tanks of the Canadian, New Zealand and South African armies that battled their way up the Italian peninsula. Although it was often out-gunned by its opponents the Sherman's ability to handle the worst terrain and its mechanical reliability ensured that it was at the forefront of every battle and contributed greatly to the final Allied victory. Examined in this book are both the 75mm armed version and the potent tank killer referred to toady as the Firefly, as well as a number of little-known field modifications.

In June 1944, as part of this force, the Army in the West was able to deploy over 300 Panther tanks, perhaps the best armoured fighting vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War. British and American tank crews found to their horror that the Panthers could often survive numerous hits while a single round from one of their 75mm guns was enough to destroy any enemy tank.

At the Battle of Kursk there were not enough Tigers to make a decisive difference and thereafter the Tiger was forced to play a mainly defensive role as the Wehrmacht struggled to withstand the advances of the Red Army.

As infantry units scrambled to hold makeshift defensive positions the mobile Panzer battalions were the only formations that were able to plug the increasing number of gaps in the frontline. One of the most important weapons in the Wehrmacht's arsenal at that time was the Pzkpfw V Panther tank which had gone into combat for the first time in July 1943. Armed with a powerful 7.5cm main gun, these tanks were capable of penetrating the armour of the strongest Soviet designs and it was planned that every Panzer regiment would eventually contain a battalion of these impressive vehicles. In his latest volume in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver continues the story of these remarkable vehicles using archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the Panther battalions that fought to hold back the Red Army's push to the borders of Germany during 1944.

Evolving from a mobile bunker-buster, armed with a short-barrelled howitzer, the Sturmgesch tz was up-armoured and up-gunned and by 1943 it was increasingly employed as a tank killer. In 1944, largely as an emergency quick-fix, the Sturmgesch tz IV entered service and over 1,000 examples had been built by the end of the war. As the Wehrmacht's resources continued to decline the assault guns were thrown into every operation and increasingly substituted for gun tanks in official unit establishments. In the third volume in the TankCraft series to examine the Sturmgesch tz, Dennis Oliver employs official documentation and unit histories to investigate the formations that operated the Sturmgesch tz IV and uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the vehicles that served on the Eastern Front during the last months of the campaign.

The 15cm-armed Brummbär, built on the chassis of the ever-reliable Pzkpfw IV, was rendered obsolete by developments in man-portable anti-tank weapons and so the decision was made to mount an even more powerful gun on the suspension and hull of the Tiger I tank. The original intention was to equip the new design with a 21cm howitzer but as sufficient stocks were unavailable a specially adapted version of the Kriegsmarine's 38cm depth charge rocket launcher was employed. Hitler expected great things from these imposing looking vehicles and ordered that vast stocks of ammunition be produced but in the event less than twenty Sturmmörserwagen 606\/4 mit 38cm RW 61, better known as the Sturmtiger, were built. Drawing on official documentation and unit histories Dennis Oliver investigates the formations that operated these deservedly famous vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Sturmtigers that fought in the last battles of the war.

Battered regiments were rebuilt and new units were created and the real striking power of the Panzer battalions was now the Pzkpfw V Panther, perhaps the most effective armoured vehicle produced by Germany during the Second World War.

III, which was commonly known as the Panzer III, which had first seen service in the Polish Campaign, was still the most numerically important armoured fighting vehicle in the Wehrmacht's arsenal. Spearheading the Panzer divisions during the Blitzkrieg era, the Pz.Kpfw. III was less heavily armoured than many of its opponents, but it was sturdy and reliable, while its main armament was the equal of any enemy weapon it was called upon to face. The basic version was continuously up-gunned and up-armoured, while maintaining its speed and manoeuvrability, and the later variants could still be considered a potent, modern weapons system. Operating on the open plains of modern-day Belarus and Ukraine, the Pzkpfw III was at the forefront of the dramatic advances of 1941 and would be called upon to bear the burden of the effort in the offensives planned for the following year which, if all went to plan, would knock the Soviet Union out of the war. This volume of the TankCraft series continues the story of the tank's wartime service, examining the models that took part in the fighting on the Eastern Front beginning with the spectacular advance to the doorstep of Asia and into the Caucasus region in June 1942 and ending with the savage battles in the streets of Stalingrad. Dennis Oliver uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the Pzkpfw III and the Panzer units that took part in these crucial struggles. A key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also examined, providing everything the modeller needs to recreate an accurate representation of these historic tanks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53158721290513,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53158721749265,"sku":"NGR9781036185220","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781036185220.jpg?v=1772061727"},{"product_id":"tank-craft-51-panzer-iv-medium-tank-book-dennis-oliver-9781036185251","title":"Tank Craft 51 Panzer IV Medium Tank","description":"Throughout the Second World War, despite the appearance of such powerful armoured fighting vehicles as the Tiger and Panther tanks, the versatile Panzerkampfwagen IV, or Pzkpfw IV, which was commonly known as the Panzer IV, provided the backbone of the Panzer regiments until the last days of the conflict.\n\nMechanically reliable and relatively cheap to produce, the Pzkpfw IV 's large wheel base and turret circumference meant that it could be up-gunned with minimal disruption to production and the rugged hull and suspension were adapted to a number of diverse roles including self-propelled anti-tank gun, anti-aircraft tank, bridgelayer and armoured recovery vehicle. Originally designed and developed to provide support for the infantry formations of Germany's armoured divisions, the Pzkpfw IV was increasingly pressed into service as a tank killer as stronger and more well-armoured enemy vehicles were encountered.\n\nAlthough assembly of the Pzkpfw IV was officially terminated in late 1944, as the tank had fallen out of favour with Hitler, production was soon resumed and as late as March 1945 the Panzer units operating in the East reported that over 600 were on hand.\n\nIn the third volume in the TankCraft series to examine this deservedly famous armoured vehicle, Dennis Oliver employs official documentation and unit histories to investigate the formations that operated these vehicles and uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine the markings, camouflage and technical aspects of the Pzkpfw IV tanks that served on the Eastern Front during 1944.\n\nA key section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.
