Upcoming!Wolfgang Schneider/ Panzerregiment 1

#1

Post by Jan-Hendrik » 11 Aug 2017, 12:00

I received the following mail:
Liebe Freunde,

nachdem ich im vergangenen Jahr voll ausgelastet war mit dem Erstellen der englischen Ausgabe von TIGER IM KAMPF Band III, erscheint nun in Kürze mein nächstes Buch, und zwar über das Panzerregiment 1 der Wehrmacht, das bereits 1935 aufgestellt wurde. Aus mehreren Nachlässen habe ich aus rund 1500 verschiedenen Privatfotos die "besten" 300 ausgewählt und in einem Bildband zusammengestellt.
Diesen biete ich hiermit zum Subskriptionspreis an (siehe Beilage).

Über baldige Bestellungen würde ich mich sehr freuen, damit ich die Druckauflage bestimmen kann. Bitte leiten Sie dieses Angebot an Freunde und Bekannte weiter!

Mit einem kräftigen "Panzer, hurra!" grüße ich alle Gepanzerten!
So we can await a picture book on PzRgt. 1 in the usual Schneider quality :thumbsup:

Myself preordered it!

I pray it is very successful so we can see more Heer unit histories published and by extension published in English as well.

Great that sounds wonderful! Do you know if the book is going to be a detailed unit history with maps? Also is there a link or something to where it can be ordered from the publisher? Thanks.
PS...Who is the publisher?

Hi Jan, I checked out the website, but he doesn't have any news about the book, did you have any more information about it? Thanks.

Do you know if this is more of a picture book, or an actual unit history? Thanks.

Got it yesterday!

Yes, the focus is on the pictures which came mostly from veterans of the unit, so most private pics.

The text gives general information on the organisation of the unit during it existance, where they were on duty and so on.

Print quality is, as usual, excellent.

Minus:

I had expected lists with unit commander, officers...and monthly strength reports.

But for the money it was a good buy!
