• the definitive reference on the Leopard 2 in German service ... if you plan to acquire only two Leopard 2 reference books, this should be one of them (and the second volume should be the other)
  Edit (2009/08/31) : ... and The Danish Leopard 2A5 should be the third of the afforementioned two purchases
• the book contains a large number of high quality photos which should please even the most AMS afflicted individuals
• the development of the Leopard 2 from prototype to series production vehicle is thoroughly documented with the lavish use of mostly colour photos and line drawings

• full of great gobs of very high quality photos of in action vehicles as well as numerous detail photos shot from multiple angles (something I've wanted to see in a reference book for quite some time because that's how I photograph vehicles)
• this book falls into the must have category as it is one of the best modelling reference books I have ever laid hands on - it was very clearly written with the AMS afflicted modeller in mind
• for more information or to contact the author (he's a very nice fellow - he doesn't bite), visit the book's website
• a full review of the book may be found posted on Armorama
• this book is now available from the publisher, Barbarossa Books, and the website has now been updated with the full book details

• 64 pages, soft cover, German text with complete English translation, all colour photos, 1:35 scale plans of the Leopard 2A6M-CAN
• the book deals with the Leopard 2A6M-CAN in active service in Afghanistan from August 2007 to the present, with a distinct emphasis on operationsin 2009
• the book consists of 5 pages of text followed by plenty of high quality photos with captions (in both German and English)
• contains the following elements/subsections:
  
  • synopsis of Canadian operations in Afghanistan with a discussion of factors that led to the decision to deploy tanks in support of the Canadian battlegroup

  • a section of the use of the mine clearance roller system in use with the Leopard 2A6M-CAN including good photos of the roller mount assembly and the adapter frame (the mount assembly is sized to fit Leopard 1 gun tanks)
  • a short photo spread of the Büffel Armoured Recovery Vehicle in use with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan
• a very high quality book which will be invaluable to modeller's wishing to build a Leopard 2A6M-CAN (a must-have in my humble opinion)
• for more information and several page preview photos, please refer to the publisher's description
• a comprehensive book review by Jason Bobrowich is available courtesy of Armorama.

• 183 pages, hard cover, German text with many colour photos and several line drawings
• although dealing primarily with the 2A5, a small number of pages are devoted to photographic coverage of the 2A6
• most of the pictures feature in action shots of vehicles (lots of diorama ideas), but there are enough detail oriented photos to keep modeller types happy
• contains numerous pictures of the Leopard 2A5's deployed to the Balkans for KFOR
• includes detailed pictures of most of the components of the German AGDUS and the US MILES training simulation systems as fitted to the Leopard 2
• contains very detailed line drawings on the Leopard 2A5 in addition to comprehensive diagrams of the official Bundeswehr 3-colour camo pattern
• a great book for the Leopard 2 modeller or enthusiast - highly recommended if you can find a copy (this is where bookfinder.com is very useful)

• 399 pages, hard cover, German text, many black and white photos with some colour photos
• details the development of both the Leopard 1 and 2, up to 2A5 prototypes (TVM max and TVM min)
• just less than 1/2 of the book is devoted to the Leopard 2 (coverage starts at page 224), with a fair bit of attention being given to the development of various trials vehicles
• Leopard 2 gun tank coverage primarily focuses on the 8 production batches of the 2A0-4 and the Panzer 87 (the 2A4 in Swiss service) with decent photographic coverage of the prototype vehicles TVM max and TVM min
• contains some coverage of the Bergepanzer 3 (including a set of very detailed scale plans) and brief mention of the Fahrschulpanzer Leopard 2
• contains line drawings of the prototype 2AV, batch 1-8 Leopard 2A0-4 vehicles, the Leopard 2A4 NL, the Panzer 97, the Strv 122 (termed the 2A5 S in the book) and the Bergepanzer 3
• definitely worth owning due to the very comprehensive nature of the photo and textual content, though this book may be superfluous if one has already acquired Frank Lobitz' Leopard 2 books

• 48 pages, soft cover, German text, black and white photos (although the front and back covers contain colour photos) and several line drawings
• provides primarily photo coverage (with captions) of the Leopard 2A0-4, the Leopard 2 NL and the Panzer 87
• most photos are detail oriented (ie. modeller's dream) with many interior photos and not much in the way of "in action" photos
• this book contains a lot of really good photos of early Leopard 2's even if the the quality of the photographs is a little dated (ie. typical of 1980's era modeller reference books)

• 48 pages, soft cover, Spanish text, colour and black and white photographs, colour illustrations
• documents the Leopard 2A4 in Spanish service as well as a short account of the development of the Leopard 2A4 from the KPz-70 through to prototypes and series production vehicles
• all of the photos depict vehicles "in action"
• several illustrations of the Leopard 2A4 are included which appear to be identical to those found in the Speilberger Leopard books
• contains a complete list of all 2A4's in Spanish service, which includes the vehicle registration numbers and the unit to which the vehicle is attached

• 48 pages, soft cover, English text with all colour photos
• contains many "in action" type photos and captions
• vehicles covered would include the 2A1-4 and 2A5 in service with the Bundeswehr, the Bergepanzer 3 and vehicles in foreign service (Panzer 87, 2A4 NL, 2A5 NL and 2 whole photos of the Strv 122)
• given that the publishing date of this book is 1998, most of the photo coverage is of Leopard 2A4 variants in Bundeswehr service ... Leopard 2A5 coverage is approximately 15 pages of photos and captions
• contains 1:35 scale plans of the Leopard 2A0 (Batch 1) and several colour side-view illustrations of in-service gun tanks

• 48 pages, soft cover, English text with black and white photos and colour illustrations
• the format and style of the content should be quite familiar to readers of Osprey books and the New Vanguard series
• provides coverage of the Leopard 2 from early prototypes through to the 2A5, with some coverage of the Bergepanzer 3 and Leopard 2s in foreign service (Netherlands, Switzerland and Sweden)
• as is the case with older Osprey books, the colour plates and the vehicle history are superb but the black and white photos are mostly too small to be of much value to the modeller

• 64 pages, soft cover, English text with mostly black and white photos but including 8 pages of colour photos
• approximately 1/3 of this book is devoted to the Leopard 2
• covers the use of the Leopard 1 and 2 family of vehicles in service with the Bundeswehr and other nations (Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Turkey, Australia and Greece) ... photos are primarily of the "in action" type (with captions) but with some detail oriented shots
• Leopard 2 content would include the 2A0-4 vehicles with some photos of the prototypes (1st gen trials vehicle and the 2AV), and a few photos of the Bergepanzer 3 and the Fahrschulpanzer Leopard 2 (driver training vehicle)

• 52 pages, soft cover, English text, black and white photos (with captions) although the cover card has colour photos on both sides)
• a translation of the German edition original published in 1988 by Podzun-Pallas-Verlag (Friedberg, Germany)
• 9 pages devoted to the Leopard 2A0-4 gun tank, Fahrschulpanzer and Bergepanzer 3 (2 photos of a prototype)
• not a great book for Leopard 2 content as most of the pages are devoted to the Leopard 1 family of vehicles

• 112 pages, hard cover, English text, black and white photos, line drawings
• despite the Leopard 2 prominently featured on the cover, this is primarily a Leopard 1 family book
• the book contains one chapter (consisting of text and photos) involving the development of the Leopard 2 from prototype to the first batch production vehicles
• does not include any "in service" photos of the Leopard 2, likely due to the fact that this book was written just as the Leopard 2 was being accepted for service with the Bundeswehr

• 316 pages, hardcover, English text with black and white photos with some fold-out color profiles
• Leopard 2 coverage fron page 206 to 267, mostly about Leopard 2 development
• one colour fold-out profile of the Leopard 2
• line drawings of 105mm-armed and 120mm-armed prototypes, 105mm-armed and 120mm-armed Leopard 2AV, Leopard 2 (as of 1978), Leopard 2 power pack

• 64 pages, soft cover, English text, black and white photos and colour illustrations
• Leopard 2 content consists of 1 full page colour plate of Bundeswehr Leopard 2A4's (and the associated descriptions which always contains a gold-mine of information), one partial colour plate depicting a Leopard 2A4 NL in CAT 85 markings, and several black and white photos of German and Dutch Leopard 2's
• Bundeswehr armour crew uniforms are depicted in a colour plate (and description)
• once again, as is the case in most Osprey books, the small black and white photos are too small to be really useful (in my opinion), but the textual content together with the colour plates/illustrations (and the associated descriptions) are simply excellent and make Osprey books a very worthwhile acquisition

• 66 pages, soft cover, English text, all colour photos
• Leopard 2 content includes a total of 7 pages of photos (with captions) of West German and Dutch Leopard 2A4s
• the photos are all of the "in action" type and are of very high quality (Yves Debay is one of the best military photo journalists out there)
• I originally purchased this book for the Challenger 1 and Leopard C1 photos, so the presence of Leopard 2 photos is a bonus
• by itself, this book does not contain many Leopard 2 photos, but I think it is a very good book as it provides an excellent set of photos of Western MBTs in the dying days of the Cold War

• 94 pages, soft cover, all colour photos
• while about 1/3 of this book deals with British armour (two guesses why I purchased it), it contains 5 pages of photos of West German Leopard 2's and 3.5 pages of photos of Dutch Leopard 2's
• all of the photos in the book are of very high quality (and in glorious full colour)

• 60 pages, soft cover, English text, mostly black and white photos but with the centre 4 pages in colour (just like the old Squadron-Signals books of the 1980s ... I guess this kind of dates me)
• Leopard 2 content consists of 1 colour photo and 2.5 pages of black and white photos (most of this book deals with American subjects)

• 52 pages, soft cover, German text with full English translations, black and white photos with colour photos and the cover cards (both sides)
• contains 5 pages of photos and captions of the Leopard 2 in German service ... and the entire rear cover is a rather nice colour photo of a Leopard 2A4
• I wouldn't call this book a must have, but I'm glad I picked it up on the cheap on evil-bay

Strictly speaking, the following Tankograd publications are classified as professional magazines, as they do not have ISBN numbers.

• the article features many training type photos of Leopard 2A6's and Bergepanzer 3's as well as various crew uniforms and 120mm training rounds

• the article includes a number of excellent detail photos
• a lot of information for the modeller wishing to build a 2A6-HEL appears to have been included, which seems to discuss the various injection molded kits, PE sets and resin updates that could be used to build a 2A6-HEL ... again it's a crying shame I do not read Greek as I'm sure this information is top notch
