This new photo album is number 17 in the MMPBooks/Stratus "Camera On" series and is the second volume on the Sd.Kfz. 7, the book contains 140+ photographs of the Sd. Kfz 7 and its various sub-types, the photos mostly unpublished before now, are all from German sources, with the majority being private photos taken by ordinary German soldiers not professional propagandists. In this volume we endeavour to show the vehicle in even more depth and cover the sub-types in more detail than only one volume allowed, however still show the vehicle as the soldier viewed it as his work place and often also his home, not the highly posed and polished views of the official photographers.Book includes special versions like:Selbstfahrlafette (Sd. Kfz. 7/1) auf Fahrgestell des m. Zgkw. 8t mit 2 cm FlakvierlingSelbstfahrlafette (Sd. Kfz. 7/2) auf Fahrgestell des m. Zgkw. 8t mit 3,7 cm Flak 36mittlerer Zugkraftwagen 8t (Sd. Kfz. 7) mit Holzpritschemittlerer Zugkraftwagen 8t (Sd. Kfz. 7) mit gepanzertem AufbauThis book is an invaluable reference for military historians and modellers alike. With this second part on the Sd.Kfz. 7, the author endeavours to show the vehicle and its variants in even more detail than would have been possible in just one volume. The author shows the vehicle as the soldier saw and used it in action, namely as his "workplace" and often also as his "home". The book features special variants such as: Self-propelled mount (Sd. Kfz. 7/1) on the chassis of the 8-ton medium half-track with 2 cm Flakvierling; self-propelled mount (Sd. Kfz. 7/2) on the chassis of the 8-ton medium half-track with 3.7 cm Flak 36; 8-ton medium half-track (Sd. Kfz. 7) with wooden cargo bed; and 8-ton medium half-track (Sd. Kfz. 7) with armored superstructure. This book is an invaluable reference for vehicle enthusiasts and modellers.
