Reviews

[Samuel Carlos]

It was a good read, has a lot of interesting details. Unfortunately I'm displeased with the picture of the Panzer 4 Ausf F1 on pages 54-55. The photo that stretches between both pages is incorrect as the title says that it is the Panzer 4 Ausf F1 but the picture is the F2 version despite the correct version being shown on a smaller front view photo on page 54.
