War Photographer 1.2 War Photographer Series (9786155583247) Peko Publishing In what is an established series from Peko this new photobook series presents different selections of wartime photos from Battles and operations, looks at military vehicles, or indeed individual photo albums from those who fought in WWII. This third book continues with an album from Oberleutnant d.R Peter Prien who began his army career with the first Panzer-Division in January 1941 and finished the war as CO of Stabskompanie of Pz.Rgt.3 of 2.Panzer-Division. His album contains mostly photos of his time with 2.Panzer-Division around the time of the Kursk. The second part presents a series of photographs of the lesser known 8.8cm Flak 18 mounted on the chassis of the Sd.Kfz.8 half-track officially known as the 8.8cm Flak 18 Sfl. auf schwere Zugkraftwagen 12 t (Sd.Kfz.8) als Fahrgestel (catchy eh!). Most of these are previously unpublished. Bound in a softback cover in landscape format, the book contains 59 pages of printed material. It arrives in a shrink-wrap cover to keep it in good shape and the pages nice and crisp. The book is written by author Tom Cockle with the text in English. Conclusion With a broad variety of photos spread throughout the book and informative text, this makes for an interesting read, as well as a treat for the eyes with the excellent photographs. This series has the potential to be very good providing unique views of service, and showing some of the less frantic sides of war such as training, and even daily activities while deployed on operations . Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
