Panzer IV The Panzerkampfwagen IV Medium Tank, 1939-1945 By Kevin Hjermstad ISBN 0-89747-413-9 Squadron Signal Publications. Review by Terry Ashley

The book covers only the main gun tank vehicles, none of the Stugs, Self propelled Artillery or Anti-Aircraft vehicles are mentioned. All gun tanks from the Ausf A to the Ausf J are covered mainly through the use of wartime photographs.

There are no real close-up details shown apart from a few drawings showing minor variations between the variants.

A number of the photographs have been seen in other publications, but the good thing here is that they are all now in one book and at a reasonable price. As mentioned most of the photos are wartime in-action type pictures and show the Pz IV in all situations, including a few in bits after internal explosions disemboweled the tank. These photos are an excellent reference source for diorama ideas.

8 pages of colour profiles show the many different camouflage schemes the Pz IV was seen in.

In all a nice collection of photographs of the Panzer IV and and should form a handy addition to the reference library for Panzer lovers.

Highly recommended.
