Until their integration into the German Armed Forces, the land forces of the National People's Army (NVA), founded in 1956, were equipped with wheeled and tracked vehicles. These armoured vehicles are described in detail by Jörg Siegert. The book contains all the facts and figures you need to know about these fascinating large-scale machines. The T 34/76, T 34/85, IS II, PT 76, T 54, T 55 and T 72 battle tanks and their variants are presented in detail, as are combat and reconnaissance armoured personnel carriers, command vehicles and other vehicles that were part of the East German armoured forces in the fields of communications, command and engineering.
