Tankograd: STURMTRUPPEN
The Kaiser’s Elite Stormtroopers
Many of the Stormtroopers saw themselves as the Kaiser’s elite. The Sturmbataillone were Lehrtruppe and Kampftruppe, both teachers and battle troops, for the hardest assignments.
The Stormtrooper was regarded as “the perfect form of the frontline fighter,” described as follows: “He did not march with shouldered rifle, but with unslung carbine. His knees and elbows are protected by leather patches. He no longer wears a cartridge belt, but sticks his cartridges in his pocket. Crossed over his shoulder are two sacks for his hand grenades…Thus he moves from shell hole to shell hole through searing fire, shot and attack…hugging the ground like an animal, never daunted, never surprised…always shifting, cunning, always full of confidence in himself and his ability to handle any situation…”
This publication aims at providing enthusiasts and experts with a unique look into the subject of Imperial German Assault Forces in World War One based on recent research in German archives. Illustrated with many hitherto unpublished photographs it describes the training, combat, uniforms, weapons and equipment of the soldiers, regarded as the ancestors of modern Special Forces. It also puts the German Sturmtruppen into context with the war on the Western Front and the stalemate in the trenches by providing extensive background information on general tactics and supporting units and equipment.

Tankograd: Panzer-Abteilung 208 – I. /Pz.Reg. Feldherrnhalle
Panzer Sicherungs-Kompanien and Panzer-Abteilung 208 – I. / Panzer-Regiment Feldherrnhalle
Italy 1943-44, Hungary-Slovakia-Moravia 1944-45
Three Panzer-Sicherungs-Kompanien (armoured security companies) were created from existing units during the summer of 1943 to be employed in case of Italy’s exit from the war. From September 1943, they were used to disarm the Italian Army and later to fight partisans in areas of northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. In the spring of 1944, the three companies became part of a newly created tank unit, Panzer-Abteilung 208 (armoured unit number 208). This unit remained in northern Italy until the end of the year, when it was re-equipped with new weapons and sent to the Hungarian front.
From late December 1944, the Abteilung was engaged in heavy defensive battles west of encircled Budapest, and in February 1945 it was involved in one of the last successful German offensives, conducted against the Gran Soviet bridgehead. In March 1945, the Abteilung was renamed I. Abteilung/Panzer-Regiment „Feldherrnhalle” and fought its last battles in Hungary, Slovakia and Moravia as part of Panzer-Division „Feldherrnhalle” 1.
On 232 pages the book recounts in detail the little-known history of these units, based on extensive archive research and contributions from former unit members. It contains 380 extremely rare photographs (most not published before), document reproductions, graphics and maps.
In addition, specific chapters also deal with related units: Panzer-Abteilung „Adria”, Panzer-Abteilung 212 in Italy, and Panzer-Einsatz-Kompanie „Ligurien”.

Spearheads Frontier: Schwere SS-PzAbt 101 Tiger IIs decals.
A versatile sheet that covers 8 specific vehicles. Two are with zimmerit, six are without. Also included are generic 2nd and 3rd company numbers to mark most of sSS-PzAbt 101 tanks. Additionally, two different sizes of LSSAH emblems of 3 different line widths just to add variety to the choices are also provided.
The clear films are thin and are cropped very close to the edge of the artwork. With a bit of basic waterslide decal application understanding, modellers should be able to produce a flawless decal finish over zimmerit.
2010 Update: included alternate turret number colours for 222, 104 & 113
