Nr. 9020 - Challenger 1
The Last Cold War Era Tank of Britain’s Armoured Corps
The FV4030/4 Challenger 1 MBT was the last vehicle of its type developed and fielded by the British Army during the Cold War era. Procured as a stop-gap measure in the early 1980s to replace part of the ageing fleet of FV4201 Chieftain MBTs, the new vehicle was intended to battle Warsaw Pact armour on the plains of northern Germany in the event of the Cold War ever turning hot. This publication tells in great detail the development history, describes the technology, Challenger 1 variants Mk 1, 2 and 3, the CRARRV, the Training Tank, the Al Hussein as well as the MBT in action during IFOR, SFOR, KFOR and in Operation Granby.
Illustrated with 128 colour photographs and 5 b&w photographs

Nr. 7027 - Svenska Armén
Vehicles of the Modern Swedish Army
The motor pool of the Swedish Army has changed drastically in the past decades. While in the Cold War domestic products such as the S-Tank were dominant, this changed in the 1990s when large quantities of ex-East German Army vehicles were purchased. In the new millenium this change became even more effective with the purchase of state-of-the-art weapons technology making the Swedish Army today one of the best-equipped in Europe. This publication shows the current motor pool of the Swedish Army, ranging from light tactical vehicles, via wheeled armour, artillery and air-defence systems to the most powerful tracked armour such as the Leopard-2-based Strv 122.

Nr. 5042 -Fahrzeug-Graffiti IFOR-SFOR-EUFOR
Personalised Vehicle Markings during the German Mission on the Balkans
During the time of the Cold War they were exotic exceptions and generally not permitted on a wider scale. Yet today personalised vehicle markings gain more and more ground on vehicles of the modern German Army. From cool nicknames to names of famous TV characters and even comicbook superheroes these ‘graffiti’ convert a piece of wheels and metal into an accepted part of the troop, into the steel comrade of the soldiers. This publication is the first ever to deal with the personalised non-regular markings on German military vehicles during the IFOR, SFOR and EUFOR missions on the Balkans.

Nr. 4019 - Deutsche Panzereinheiten in der OZAK
German Armoured Formations in the OZAK 1943-45
Aside from the well-known battlefields in the West, on the Eastern Front and in North Africa, there was a small area were the Panzers ruled as well: the OZAK (Operations Area Adriatic Coastland). What makes the OZAK so special are the unusual German armoured formations deployed there with an exceptional range of strange vehicles that could be found nowhere else on any other frontline of World War Two. This publication grants a deep look into that interesting border area of Wehrmacht Panzer history.

Nr. 3019 - 1st Armored Division
Vehicles of the 1st Armored Division in Germany 1971-2011
The 1st Armored Division is among the most famous and oldest divisions of the US Army, and it has now been in existence for more than seventy years. The unit can look back on the many operational deployments it conducted over the years and which made it what it is today, a powerful, major fighting force with a proud history, a history that is also strongly related to Germany. This publication tells the history of the 1st Armored Division and shows the unit’s vehicles, from light off-road vehicle to main battle tank, during its deployment in Germany between 1971 and 2011 in many hintherto unpublished photographs.
