"...the text is extremely interesting given that it presents all historical documents as they appeared. I would recommend this to anyone with a bent for interesting and out-of-the-ordinary military history of World War II." - IPMS/USA During the Second World War, the British War Office instructed their military engineers and scientists to examine captured enemy armoured vehicles and tanks and determine their mechanical specifications and abilities, and most importantly, how to destroy them. This vital information was then passed on to battlefield officers via briefings and technical summaries attached to General Orders. After the war, these secret reports were sent for storage to different archives around Britain. They have now been declassified. The Panzer Archives series reveals these reports in a single collection. Most have never been published. The original style of language and presentation has been retained, and the photographs have been reproduced. This first volume contains briefings on the Panzer 38(t), Panzer II, Panzer III and Panzer IV, wire mesh skirting, the E-100 tank, the Mouse 1-man light tank, and the Italian AB41 and German light amphibious Turtle armoured cars.
