We're sure you'll like Vol. 48: In the past, we have repeatedly taken up topics that had already been worked on, when sufficient new material was available. In the case of the armoured reconnaissance vehicles of the former German Wehrmacht, our 1st volume was the 4th issue of our series ever. After we had dealt exhaustively with the Büssing eight-wheelers of the GS series in Vol. 36 and 37 and with the Büssing TP series in Vol. 40, and after the small armoured reconnaissance vehicles had been revised in Vol. 47, the last model to be dealt with was the series of the six-wheeled armoured reconnaissance vehicles. Due to the small number of vehicles, the search for material proved to be very difficult.

But after twelve years of intensive searching and with the help of countless friends, the collection grew larger and larger and we are pleased to be able to announce issue 48 of our series for the end of October 2023. The six-wheeled armoured reconnaissance vehicles Sd.kfz. 231, 232 and 263 from Büssing, Daimler-Benz and Magirus.
