TheTiger was certainly the most famous armored vehicle of World War II. Its fire power and protective armor made it the dominating factor on all battle fields during the years 1943-44. It did, however, present considerable problems, due to its complex mechanical construction.The Tiger crews were continuously engaged in maintenance work, which was aggravated through extreme conditions in the African desert and the Russian Plains.

SD. KFZ 234/1 In The beginning the heavy armoured car 234 was supposed to replace all similar vehicles of the German Army. Several variants were built to explore the anti-tank role and artillery support task. This version, equipped with a 20 mm gun was the first one to be used by reconnaissance units. The 234 was a reliable cross-country vehicle, but its armament proved inadequate against similar enemy vehicles, which were generally equipped with 37 or 57 mm guns.

As the Volkswagen "82" (K'U'beiwagen) proved very successful during the campaign in Poland, it was necessary to produce ever increasing numbers of this vehicle. Later, Ferdinand Porsche developed an amphibian version of this car, called the "Schwimmwagen" The light weight of this vehicle (about 112 ton) permitted crossing of muddy areas, since only two men were sufficient to keep this vehicle moving. For reconnaissance and liaison missions, water had to be crossed frequently, which was impossible with other vehicles. The Schwimmwagen, built as an amphibious vehicle, was able to master almost any obstacle.

This type of tracked amphibian vehicle was developed for the U.S. Armed Forces at the beginning of World War II to ascertain mobility in swampy terrain and at the beaches during landing operations. This version was typical because of its wide rear ramp which could be lowered to move equipment and troops. More than 6000 units were produced from the end of 1943 onward. LTV’s were widely used in the Pacific theatre as well as on various European battle grounds to cross bigger rivers.

The Panzer IV was developed during the opening months of World War Two to equip German armoured divisions with a tank having a 7.5 cm cannon. Given the shortcomings of the previous Panzer III equipped with a 5 cm gun (often in difficulty against the Soviet T34 with its 5 cm gun and highly effective armour), it also featured enhanced protection. The Mark IV was used extensively by the German Army on all fronts during the Second World War: numerous variants were produced to counter the constant improvements made to enemy tanks.

The aim was to build a vehicle to supply ammunition, food and materials – stored in the holds of transport ships – to invading troops occupying beachheads on enemy soil immediately after landing. The DUKW offered good navigating qualities and could move well off-road too, which, combined with its high load capacity, enabled it to perform its logistic role to the full. In the post-war years, it was widely used by USA’s allies all the way through to the 70s, including civil protection assignments.

This small half-track vehicle with platform designed to accommodate the 2cm. FLAK 30 anti aircraft cannon, was built for the German army at the beginning of the 2nd World War. Its purpose was to protect tank divisions against the threat of enemy fighter-bombers, in addition to offering direct firing support for the infantry. The half track vehicle offered excellent off-road performance and was very sturdy indeed, as abundantly demonstrated during the Russian Campaign carried out under highly exacting conditions due to the almost total absence of roads, and very severe weather conditions.

This redesigned version of the amphibian support vehicle LVT-(A) 1 was developed for the American Marines. In the course of numerous actions during the Pacific Campaign, the Marines became aware of the need for a vehicle more heavily armed than its predecessor which had a 37 MM cannon. This improvement was necessary to better counteract the Japanese fortifications and tanks which grew in number as the War progressed. Equipped with a new tower housing a short 75 MM howitzer, this vehicle was widely used in the battles for the conquest of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

The Soviet T 55 medium tank along with its T 59 Chinese replica is the most widespread tank in the world. Fifty years after its initial design planning and subsequent updates, it is still utilised by the armed forces of many countries. The T 55 has been the protagonist of the main conflicts over the last fifty years from the invasion of Czechoslovakia to the conflict in Vietnam, from the Arab-Israeli war to Operation Desert Storm and even Operation Enduring Freedom, the most recent major conflict in Iraq. In all these wartime events the T 55 tank has always distinguished itself (if handled by well-trained personnel) when compared with combat vehicles of equal technology, thereby demonstrating the validity of its formula.

This armoured scout car was produced in the 1930s for the German Army. Only a limited number were ever produced, yet the experience gained with these vehicles made them a valuable stepping stone towards the development of later models. The 230 was used right up until the early stages of the Second World War when it was replaced by more modern efficient armoured cars. It featured a three-axis chassis with twinned rear wheels, light armour and a 2 cm cannon.

The medium Sherman is undoubtedly one of the most famous tanks of the entire Second World War: tens of thousands were produced for the American army and allied countries. The numerous versions saw action on all fronts and did battle with all the most powerful rival tanks. The A3, with 76 mm cannon, started rolling off the production line in 1943: no other version was produced in such great numbers, largely because of the cannon, which could even put the heavy German tanks, the Tiger and Panther, out of action.

Officially presented at the opening of FIAT’s Mirafiori plant in May 1939 the AB 40 was at the time something of a cutting-edge vehicle. Thanks to innovative solutions such as double drive and spare wheels mounted as neutral to help get over obstacles, it was a match for any foreign rival in the same class. The AB 41 version introduced in 1941 included several improvements, yet its main weapon a 20 mm Breda 35 cannon remained the same. Capable of over 70 Kph on the road and nearly 40 Kph off road (twice that of other vehicles in the Regio Esercito), it proved effective in combat despite the defects caused by use of poor materials in the armour and the complex 4-wheel steering system. It was later replaced by the improved AB 43 version. A total of around 450 AB41s were built.

The AB 43 armoured car is an evolution from the previous AB 40 and 41 models. Equipped with a new larger turret, its main weapon was the 20MM calibre Breda 35 with a co-axial 8MM machine gun. Unfortunately the AB 43 never entered into service with the Italian army as its production was only started in 1944 under the control of the German forces, which had occupied the Italian industry following the armistice in September 1943. These vehicles were distributed to many German units operating at the Italian front and were used particularly for controls and by the police in the northern regions which was subject to great partisan resistance. The few examples that survived were used by the police to maintain public order after the war.

The model 42 Desert Vehicle was developed for the Italian Army based on the chassis and mechanics of the AB 41 armoured car. Over the course of the operations on the African front the need arose for a reconnaissance vehicle specially adapted to the desert conditions, where driving on sand required particular features (large size tyres at low pressure, height from the ground, extensive autonomy) that were not present on the currently available vehicles. The engineers eliminated the dual running direction typical of the AB 41 and the four-wheel drive. The vehicle was produced in two armament configurations: one with 20 mm cannon/machine gun and the other with 47/32 anti-tank cannon. Several dozen of these vehicles were produced after the fall of the African front, the remaining AS 42s were re-deployed in Italy, ending their career in the police force in the 1950s.

This self propelled anti-tank was built by the Germans in 1942 in order to face the dangerous new Russian tanks and to equip their own anti-tank units with a mobile vehicle. Same body as the German Pz 38, the turret was substitute by a fixed superstructure which incorporated a 75mm Pak 40 gun. Motor and interior equipment remained unchanged and therefore the vehicle was very high, while the gunners were in a rather exposed position. From 1943 to 1944 were a total of 975 units built. Widely used in Tunisia, Russia and Italy. Remained in service with Panzerjaegerabt, on the infantry, Panzergrenadier and armoured divisions until the end of 1944.

During the final phase of World War II in the Pacific theatre, the American Forces began to invade territory which was still occupied by the Japanese troops. These territories allowed the use of tanks, which was not possible on the small Pacific islands. The M4 standard tank was therefore widely used and many modifications were made: snorkel air intake which was used during landing operations, additional protection through wood planks to reduce damage done by Japanese anti-tank mines.

The Goliath was a small tracked wire-guided armoured vehicle, designed to carry a high explosive charge for the elimination of bunkers and other fortified positions, thus saving infantry from having to do the job directly. It was carried towards the front line by any means possible: this model shows it being transported with a SWS half-track. Used in the closing stages of the Second World War, it was handled by the Engineer Corps, specially trained in the use of the device.

For some twenty years now, the Leopard II has been the best tank in its category, employed in the German army and in other European nations it has since its initial appearance, undergone a series of upgrades to keep it up to date with weapons development. At present the A6 version, which features ultra-modern engine and armaments control technology, is being put through trials. The new armour has also been improved in terms of both ballistics and materials, thus making the Leopard even safer for its crew. The longer-barrel gun allows use of the latest high-speed projectiles capable of penetrating even the toughest composite armours.

Made for the British army this self-propelled antiaircraft gun was built around the chassis of the Crusader tank, which half-way through the Second World War had become obsolete and was unable to contend with modern enemy tanks. It was decided to transform the remaining Crusaders into self-propelled antiaircraft guns by fitting them with new turrets equipped with two 20 mm cannons. This antiaircraft Crusader of which few were produced, was then used by the British in Europe to protect armoured divisions and troops.

The Jagdpanther is the tank destroyer version with a fixed gun based on the Panther G, which has been known as one of the best tanks of the World War II. This version with its characteristics of compact and ballistically advantageous shape was equipped with the remarkable 88mm gun. This was able to penetrate all Allied tanks, including the well protected Soviet 'Stalin' I and II. This vehicle went into production in 1944 and because of intensive Allied bombing raids against German industry, was only able to reach the front lines in limited numbers, so had virtually no impact on the war effort.
