Nun denn, 101 Panzer auf 110 Seiten (oder so), da kann Nichts gutes dabei herauskommen. Abgesehen davon, dass man mehr Bilder und Fotos hat als Text, und von den üblichen Fehlern im Text abgesehen ist auch die Auswahl eigentlich recht seltsam. Hier wäre weniger mehr gewesen: statt 101 Panzer vielleicht 30-40, dafür aber vollständiger beschrieben.

I like this book because it has tanks in it! Littie Willie was the first tank. The u.s.'s first came in combat in the 1930s! My favorite tank is M1 Abrams from the u.s.
