Peko's WW2 photo books have become very popular. This is as much to the quality and size of the images as anything else. This is something both enthusiasts and modelers have come to appreciate.

This one is the sixth volume of the TTL or through the lens series and provides images of a number of different vehicles. As seems to be the norm, several subjects are covered in this edition. The initial offering is the Kfz 1 Kubelwagen, followed by the Tiger I, Gepanzerter Zugdraftwagen and 88 mm FlaK 18. Next is the sIG 33 15cm howitzer auf PzKpfw I ausf B. The fifth is the Hummel and the last is the Souma S.35.

All of the images are excellent and Peko has chosen a landscape format for its photo books. This ensures that none will be across the 'ditch' in the middle of the book as one finds so often from other publishers. Each of the photo captions provides information on the image and often on the time, place, and situation of the photo.

Though published in Hungary, the book is in English, which adds to its appeal. As with other Peko books this one is most highly recommended.
