![]() Crews to man the tanks were also becoming more of an issue for the Wehrmacht. More advanced Shermans, and new tanks like the Pershing and British Comet tanks were proving to be problematic to the Germans.

Felipe Rodna provides 12 excellent color profiles of the tanks that we read about in the text. ![]() Panthers, Shermans, British tanks like the Valentine and Comet, and those aforementioned heavy tanks are all present. The Comet profile is a match for one of the schemes present in the new Tamiya Comet tank in 1/35 I am currently building. There is one full page spread art piece depicting the scene from the Adam Makos book Spearhead where Robert Early's Pershing is firing on Wilhelm Bartelborth's Panther in Cologne. Steven Zaloga's books are always a sure bet that you will get a pretty good education on the topic in a small package. There may be only 48 pages and they can easily be read in one sitting, but they are jam packed with excellent analysis and a wellspring of inspiration for those looking to jumpstart their Western Front builds. Rodna's artwork is the icing on the cake and might provide some alternative schemes for those looking for something different. I look forward to the second volume in the series focusing on the Eastern Front side of this battle.
