Peko's WW2 Photobook series has become very popular amongst armor enthusiasts over the years. This is the 25th edition and covers a wide variety of German vehicles, some in less than perfect condition. A wide variety of vehicles are covered, from early in the war until the end. It is not surprising that quite a few images are from the eastern Front as that is where most of the armor was sent during the war.  

The photos have been carefully chosen not only for image quality, but for interest as well. What probably makes these books such a treasure is that often private collections are used to illustrate them. Such is the case with this one with few coming directly from the Bundesarchives.

It is, of course, the quality and size of the images that makes this such a desirable book. The landscape format is perfect for photo books like this and I'm surprised that more photo books don't do that. Most highly recommended.
