Thanks to SPWAW, I've become quite a tank fanatic and would like to know what are the best websites concerning tanks in WW2? I ran a couple of searches with google but wasn't really satisfied with the results, so I thought that this is the place to turn to for advice. My main interest is in Russian and German AFV's.

Thanks in advance.

Since I'm at work and don't have my bookmarks around, a VERY good site right off the bat is:

Achtung Panzer!

by George Parada. Donate some if you can, his site is a goldmine and from time to time he has to limit the sites available due to bandwidth bill.

Also, if you want to see a Tiger like you never seen it before,look at this: Tiger tank restoration

And of course, there's always the Third Reich Factbook with info on both German and Russian armies as well as armor.

I'll provide more tonight...

S,
I noticed a neat feature with that page: if you click on the box that says 'Bild 1' (etc) you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse to move thru the list. Thanks for the link...that's one I've never seen before.

Over 1100 great photos. Includes also very detailed information on Finnish StuG IIIG's.

Excellent photos. Good captions as well, it seems they are written of the back of the photos? They seem to "personal" to have been added just for the website.

Hmm..tanks.
