For those who can't get enough of the reconnaissance stuff...the new book on German armored reconnaissance, Tip of the Spear, will be available from Stackpole in the fall.
It continues where Scouts Out left off, with summarized campaign histories, a large number of organizational charts, hundreds of previously unpublished or little known images, extensive captioning, after-action reports, first-hand accounts, extensive information on the issuance of the Sd.Kfz. 250/9 and the Sd.Kfz. 234 family of vehicles and, of course, another 48-page color insert. The latter features choice artifacts from advanced collections and nearly 30 full-page period color images, including "Totenkopf" and "Das Reich" reconnaissance elements.
A preview of the book with sample draft teaser pages can be found here. There is also a link there for a substantial pre-order discount from a major on-line retailer.
All the best!
