Wiking history ...

Post by kacmarek »

Resurrecting an old thread .... because Wiking means :: :: Panthers ! ;)

I guess the question is for Mr. Jan-Hendrik and others -
Is it more bild-oriented (e.g. "Verweht Sind Die Spuren) or more text, combat reports, strength returns a la Bruns ?
Any feedback on "Verweht Sind Die Spurn" also appreciated ; it pictures must have been new when the book came out (1979?), but have they been generally reproduced elsewhere since then?

The Mühlenkamp set and Verweht sind die Spüren both have some nice Panther shots, but they are essentially well known these days. To see more from the same sequences, you probably have already Vuksic's SS Armor book, which had plenty of Panther shots that were new to me. but if you don't have it, seek it out.

Vuksic's book ...

Post by kacmarek »

Vuksic's book (bought it recently), does indeed have very interesting new Panther images e.g. I02 captioned from Totenkopf in Grodno/Siedlice (and many more)...

Thanks for the pointers, saved me a bundle which can now go towards Pallud's BotB T&N ;)
