Part 2 of Büssing's schweren Panzerspähwagen with focus on schwere Panzerspähwagen (7,5 cm) (SdKfz.233), schwere Panzerfunkwagen (SdKfz.263) (8-Rad) and Panzermesskraftwagen. The decision, to split this subject into two parts has shown to be correct due to the volume of material now collected. The publishers were very reticent initially as there were no surviving Sd.Kfz.233 and 263; however this second volume exceeds the first by some 8 pages! Using Museum photos of surviving vehicle components and of parts from other vehicle types common to the SdKfz.233 & SdKfz.233, the museum photo section is comparable in quality and information to previous issues.

Includes:

• 208 pages, approx. 395 photos, of these 212 contemporary photos from manuals, combat and war fronts in b+w, most of them previously unpublished
• 9 colour photos of vehicle components in public and private collections, 84 colour photos of the models from T.Greenland and V. Branigan
• English / German captions
• 14 pages of scale drawings of all versions and details in 1:35 scale from John Rue
• 9 pages English / German text
• 24 pages of scale drawings of all versions of this machine in 1:35 scale from John Rue
• 12 camouflage schemes from Carlos Vaquerizo
• Tactical signs and tables of organization of units (Kriegstärke-Nachweisungen KStN) having these vehicles in their arsenal
