These are Stackpole books Panzerspike in the Sand #1 and #2 . The pictures are not the crispist pics I’ve seen but there are many a lot I had never seen . #1 is of course the early years and #2 is 42-43. Well worth having lots of great pictures not the same old pics.

Another great Editions Hemidel book very good book but expensive do money searches if you buy it.

Tanks Illustrated series good pics in the 80s they had about twenty books on WWII good cheap buy.

The old Squadron AfrikaKorps book good and cheap an old faithful book.

 

[Panzerspike]

This is a Schiffer hardbound big book moderate priced shop around. It’s all about the 15th PzD and is not all Africa but mostly. The pics are not the crispist but it’s a good book. Lots of different pics not the same ole thing.

 

[Panzerspike]

These three Concord Publications owned by Dragon models are very good basic books pictorials with picture notes. The first one is by Tom Cockle highly suggested buy. But all three are fairly cheap and good modelers helpers.

Those Time Life books were awesome, my BiL learned how to be a carpenter (hobby) reading those things.

It was their TV commercial for that series that had a german guy frying an egg on the armor plate of something, I've looked for that since then but can't find it on the internet.
