Krafträder - German Military Motorcycles
The role of the Kraftrad (motorcycle) in the German military at the time of World War One was primarily as a dispatch vehicle as it could go on small roads, bypass traffic jams and they were also faster than most other means of transport at that time. Motorcycles could also be used for scouting road conditions in front of truck columns, and serve as emergency transport.

As with passenger cars, there were no military-type Krafträder in the German Army at the outbreak of war. All came from impressed civilian stocks. Heeresmodelle (army models) of motorcycles began to appear from 1915-16.

This publication, for the very first time, grants an extensive written and pictorial overview on the impressed civilian motorcycles as well as the later army models of the Imperial German Armed Forces in 1914-18. Covered entirely with hitherto unpublished photographs are the types of the two main manufacturers, Wanderer and NSU, as well as impressed German types and confiscated foreign makes. Additional chapters describe the use of military motorcycle sidecar combinations, machine gun armed motorcycles, field repair workshops and the uniforms of the military dispatch riders.

The book contains 96 pages with more than 200 black & white photographs. Limited edition with 700 copies in print.

German Armoured Infantry Vehicles – Today
Panzergrenadiere - German Armoured Infantry Today reference to more than 70 years of development of a proud combat arm, including 60 years of tradition established as part of the ground forces of the modern German Army.

Integrated into armoured forces of the German Army, the combat arm in the future will face various operational scenarios, ranging from stabilisation operations to high-intensity warfighting as part of an all-arms combat formation. The current security policy refocusing on national and collective defence still requires its capabilities, including quick changes of tactics, namely mounted and dismounted fighting. This publication tells the history and organisation of the Panzergrenadiertruppe but first and foremost shows its modern fighting and support vehicles in action.

The English text book contains 64 pages with 148 color photographs, 6 black & white photographs, and 8 graphics.
