H&C - Battle of Kursk 1943 (III. Pz. Korps at Kursk)
This book is the first in a new series devoted to German armored formations of World War II.
Packed with full color images and a large amount of previously unpublished material, it is custom designed to appeal to modelers, AFV enthusiasts, and readers interested in Second World War technical history.
The Battle of Kursk was one of the greatest confrontations of the Eastern Front of World War II. It remains the largest armoured engagement of all time, and included the most costly single day of aerial conflict in history. This was large scale warfare: the manpower used and area covered in the battle were on a scale previously unknown.
This book traces the battle of Kursk and the involvement of the German Panzer Units, through first hand records. Many previously unpublished photographs, plus recently discovered memoirs from veterans combined with colour profiles of AFVs, contribute to make this book a real reference bible for the enthusiast.

H&C - Tiger I On The Western Front
The heavily armored Tiger I became the most famous German tank of World War II. The Tigers were originally intended to counter the heavy tanks of the Russian Front, and were assigned to specially created tank battalions. In 1944 Tiger units were rushed to Normandy and fought in all the major battles of the Western Front. Although they were superior to all the tanks of the Western allies, Tigers in the West faced the added danger of attack from the greatly superior British and American air forces.
Each Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS unit equipped with the Tiger I is covered in detail. Each unit’s insignia and a representative vehicle with camouflage and markings is shown in color. The operational history of each unit, and in some cases individual vehicles, is described with the aid of 250 black and white photos, most of them never before published.
