152 PANZER I VS T-26: Spanish Civil War 1936-39

Pits Germany's Panzer I against the Soviet T-26 in the Spanish Civil War. Reveals the origins, development, and combat history of these two types, which remained in front-line service in 1941 as Hitler's forces invaded the Soviet Union. While both types were soon outclassed by better armed and armored successors, the lessons learned in Spain would shape German and Soviet combined-arms doctrine on the Eastern Front during and after Operation Barbarossa. Contains color illustrations throughout, including profiles, technical drawings, battlescene artworks, maps, and photographs.
