#1: Looking for manual on Panzer III command tank Author: Koluchiy, Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:03 pm ---- Hello.
I am looking for manual on Panzer III command tank.
It has name (translated to English)
"D652/22 PzKw III Ausf D1, E H Command Vehicle, SdKfz 141".
There was information that this manual is survived and can be found somewhere in USA.
Can anybody say, where this manual can be found?
Maybe, somebody has it and can make scan or copy for exchange?
Also I am looking for Pz.IV manuals that are listed in my signature :).
Thank you in advance.

There is a complete copy of all German documents captured by US- including photos- that were returned to West Germany to create the Bundesarchiv.
Another resource is the US Army Heritage Centre which includes the records of the US Army War College at Carlisle. Check that out at www.ahco.army.mil/site/index.jsp
Good luck!
Bruce

I saw a set of booklets as a boy that were brown manilla coloured covers with black and red ink. The idea was these booklets taught Allied troops how to use German equipment if they should capture something. Weapons, radios, mortars and MAYBE tanks.
