Only ten years after the German Wehrmacht’s defeat in World War Two it was seen as crucial to create a modern German Army, the Bundeswehr. The rearmament of the Heer ground forces in the founding years of the Bundeswehr in 1956-65 can be described as “American armour and German trucks“. This publication provides rare, eye-candy and mostly hitherto unpublished photographs of the first decade of modern German military vehicles including armoured legends such as the American-made M4 HST, M5A4 HST, M7, M16, M39, M41, M42, M44, M47, M48, M55, M74, M88, M113 and legendary trucks by German manufacturers such as Borgward, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler-Benz, Faun, Porsche, Auto-Union\/DKW, Henschel, Magirus-Deutz, MAN as well as many other unique vehicle types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuantity Photos and Illustrations:\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated throughout with five colour photographs and 142 black \u0026amp; white photographs\u003cbr\u003eText – Language:\u003cbr\u003eEnglish text\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 72\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tankograd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56640301859202,"sku":"301563","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1957\/1093\/files\/5103-Gruender-01.jpg?v=1778598862","url":"https:\/\/tankmuseumshop.org\/products\/tankograd-5103-american-armour-and-german-trucks","provider":"The Tank Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
