Tanks at the Iron Curtain 1946-60: Early Cold War Armor in Central Europe by Steven J. Zaloga

royzee's review

4.0

Another splendid effort by Mr Zaloga the one who has all the facts and here they are presented in an attractive and clear way as per the Osprey format. Not much to complain about other than it is a bit short but then the imagery, tables and conciseness are all worth a look. It is a surprising read not least for the ebb and flow of funding of development and production on both sides plus the unpreparadness at the time of the Korean War. I was especially intrigued by the take up of the Panther tank by the French Army making me wonder how many of this hoard escaped the scrapman's torch. Thanks again to Jim for a gander at his copy (he gets good xmas presents!).
