Default RE: Tank Reference Books



I'm beyond new to the tank hobby, so while in my research I stumbled on a pretty detailed PDF. file for the M60 Battle Tank. I'll search for more PDF. files and post them along the way.

Why this would be useful to anyone here is beyond me, but for the enthusiast who has interest in bridge construction and the assistance of tanks in the process may find this interesting.

Not so much about tanks in general, but more so the development of Germany's first anti-tank weapon.

Military Transformation/ Not really a book solely about tanks. The title states what this book is about, and does lead into the development and use of tanks in the early war.
