Canfora Press
have brought us some of the most beautiful books on modelling today. We loved their
recent “Rare Wheels” & “Wingspan” books as well as their other modelling
books on varied subjects but a book that many modellers and AFV fans hold close
is the AFV Photo Album. Now there is a second volume out we were keen to see
what Canfora Press had in store (and at a pre-order discount price as well) …

In the second volume in our series we continue the journey
through the Czech lands, were a tremendous number of vehicles were knocked out,
blown-up or simply left behind by retreating German forces during the final
momentous weeks of World War 2. Among them were also vast amounts of Red Army
machines, knocked out in the many tank battles that raged along the retreat
route.
Few historians and modellers know the full facts about the
units and their hardware, which were involved in some of the last battles of
the war. Now we revisit many of the places covered in Volume 1, revealing new
facts and in many cases unpublished photos to illustrate the journey,
accompanied by highly detailed captions.
The book will take a closer look at what happened to the
vehicles after the war, when they were collected systematically and transported
to the melting plants. King Tigers, Panthers, Pz.IVs, StuGs. Hetzers, SPWs,
T-34s and IS-2s were among them, as well as more rarely seen vehicles such as
Möbelwagens, Marders and L/70As. We will also glance at a few of the surviving
vehicles that went on to serve in the post- war period.
This work is aimed at the modeller and historian alike and
although mainly a photographic examination, detailed accounts of the units’
strength, and details about vehicle production variants are also included.
Modellers will also benefit from the highly realistic colour profiles, printed
in large format.
