Cockle, Tom War Photographer 1.2

This new photo book series presents you various selections of rare wartime photograps. They will be selected based on numerous subjets. Each volume introduces photographs from battles, operations, vehicles or complete photo albums from soldiers who fought in Worlöd War 2. This volume is divided into two separate subjects. The first part presents a number of new photographs from the personal photo album of Oberleutnant d.R. Peter Prien who began his army career with Pz.Nachr.Abt.37 with 1. Panzer-Division in January 1941 and finished the war as Führer of the Stabskompanie of Pz.Rgt.3 of 2. Panzer-Division. His album contains mostly photos of his time with 2. Panzer-Division around the time of the Kursk battles. The second part presents a series of photographs of the 8,8 cm Flak 18 mounted on the chassis of the Sd.Kfz.8 half-track officially known as the "8.8cm Flak 18 Sfl. auf schwere Zugkraftwagen 12 t (Sd.Kfz.8) als Fahrgestell".
