Enlarged reprint with eight additional pages and 44 hitherto unpublished photos and six graphics. The Panzerhaubitze (armoured self-propelled howitzer) is the backbone of the modern German Army's Corps of Artillery from its creation in 1956 up till today. In the 1950s and 1960s the German Artillery was dominated by Panzerhaubitzen of U.S. origin: The M7, M44, M52, M55 and finally, from 1964, by the M109. From 1998 the German-made Panzerhaubitze 2000 was fielded. This publication shows the armoured self-propelled howitzers from the M7 to the Panzerhaubitze 2000 with many hitherto unpublished photographs, excerpts from technical manuals and comprehensive written documentation.
The high point of this development was reached in 1998 with the introduction of the German-made Panzerhaubitze 2000, which is still in service today. This publication documents all these systems in the text, with excerpts from the German Ordinance on Armoured Personnel (Truppendienstvorschrift, TDv), with breakdowns and in numerous operational photos.
