Looking for German WWII armored car materials
I know that if I float this up here, someone has to have scratched up something previously...
Looking for a book along the lines of a memoir perhaps, written by a German who served within an armored car element during WWII. It doesn't need to be of the "Tiger Ace: Michael Wittman" variety, but it would be good if the author spent any time discussing the tasks of operating and fighting his vehicle.
Also looking for translations of doctrinal texts (to include US Army intelligence pamphlets) that detailed the use of German armored reconnaissance units in concert with armored formations.
Thanks in advance for anything you all can dig up.
German Recce Battalion memoirs
Jon,
Just came across a reference to: 'Als Panzer and Spahtruppfuhrer on der Panzer-Lehr Division 1943-1945' (translation As an Armored and Scout Troop Leader in the Panzer Lehr Division 1943-45) by Otto Henning, publisher Verlaghaus Wurzburg 2000, 247 pp., ISBN 978-3-88189-634-4. Recouts his experiences with Recce Bn. 130 in Hungary, Normandy and in the Ardennes.
Google found one link in English that lists the book: http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=1324 and all the others are in German.
Perhaps Fuchs can help or someone still serving in Germany?
