    Panzer manuals - what is available?

    I recently purchased a copy of Panzerkampfwagenbuch (original, not reprint) and it got me thinking. What exactly is available now? Reprinted or original? pdf?

    I know that http://www.digitalhistoryarchive.com/ has pdf copies of both the British School of Tank Technology Foreign Vehicle Reports and what looks like a disk of German manual pdfs (can't confirm because I do not own the disk, nor does he list the German manual titles).

    http://www.tigertank-h-e-181.com has a couple manuals (with what looks like some new additions and restoration work done to the pages).

    http://www.rueckblick-verlag.de/ has a reprint of Panzerkampfwagenbuch, but I can't speak for its quality as I do not own it. Nor do I know if they mail outside of germany.

    http://panzerivuniverse.phelpscomput...om/Default.htm has some scans of Technical Manual D 653/21a


    http://www.superborg.de/d640.htm has a pretty good list of manuals, but it doesn't appear that many of them are currently for sale.

    I guess for the sake of completion, there is also the new Haynes Tiger tank manual and reprints of tiger / panther fibels. Both very common and easy to find.

    EDIT:

    I guess you can't bring up new material without mentioning the two books by http://www.theresearchsquad.com on the Tiger and Panther.

      Manuals

      Just to note, whilst being very interesting, the 'Haynes Manual' is a general over-view of 131 and Tiger development and The Research Squad Tiger Project book is still not published and looks less and less like it ever will be.

        Yes, the Haynes Manual isn't really a true Haynes Manual. You could never use it to repair a tiger. It is a nice consolidated source info however, unlike many other ww2 tank books that simply reprint the same stats that are easily found online.

        Thanks for the information on the http://www.theresearchsquad.com Tiger book. I was wondering why the website never had a 'check out' link for it.

          Tiger Project

          I communicated many times with Brian at the RS and his book was sounding VERY interesting , including a couple of 501st vets input on top of the photo study of 712 and diagrams / text.

          Maybe if more of those interested likewise made contact it might inject more enthusiasm to complete the project.
          Last I was told, it was nearly ready to go to print but the proof-read highlighted corrections required.
          That was probably 18 months ago now.

              Recently purchased "D 652/41

              Gepanzerte Selbstfahrlafette für Sturmgeschütz 7,5 cm Kanone, Ausführung A bis E und 7,5 cm Sturmgeschütz 40, Ausführung F, Gerätebeschreibung und Bedienungsanweisung zum Fahrgestell, Vom 1.4.43"

              Does anyone know of a place to buy or download a scanned copy? Before I go to the trouble of scanning it myself?

                Tigerfibel/Tiger manual...

                Here is a web page with scans of the Tigerfibel or Tiger manual.
                Not sure if this has been posted before, but I bumped into this while researching something completely different thought it might be interesting for some.
