Ken, the old Ground Defence International did a wonderful write up about the Begleitpanzer.
Cole, You sound like the embodiment of the late Richard Simpkin, which is not a bad thing. I have always had the belief that the PLA followed some of his work when designing some of their formations and equipment, but I am have told those who shall not be named that he was heavily influenced by Soviet tank designers.
AHHHHH Simpkin!!! Seriously?? I have 4 of his books and comb them for insight, on anything above the blindingly obvious. How on earth a guy could make life so complicated and then get so many things wrong (Tank carrying submarines - the design of the T-90?) I just cannot understand.Originally Posted by GI Zhou
If the PLA did follow his ideas, we're home and dry!

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.
