Camouflage & Markings of Commonwealth & Greek Armor in the Balkans Campaign
Armor Color Gallery

 

The Greek & Balkans campaign of 1941 is one of the areas of WWII that seems largely forgotten about, mainly I suspect as it did not go to well in general for the allies. This new book from Armor Color Galley has been researched and published in time for the 75th Anniversary of the Battle for Greece. It looks at the vehicles used by The British 1st Armoured Brigade HQ Squadron, 4th Queen's Own Hussars, 3rd and 7th Royal Tank Regiments and 3rd King's Own Hussars,. The Commonwealth 2nd New Zealand Division, 6th Australian Division; and Greek 19th Motorised Division. The book is A4 softbound format and is illustrated with 148 Black & White photographs, many of which have not been published before. The main pages feature white text on a black background which may not be to everyone's tastes (certainly not to that of the reviewer). There are 7 white pages at the rear of the book which contain colour views of various tanks & armoured Cars; though to suggest as the cover does that there are 24 full colour plates may be considered optimistic. 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

Overall this is a good book covering an often overlooked conflict of WWII,  recommended.
