Description

The Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV) played a major role in World War II. The artillery found it necessary to mechanize some of its field pieces. Armored cars were called upon to carry out tasks in addition to reconnaissance. Tank destroyers were designed to seek, and destroy enemy armor. Add to this fascinating array such oddities as speedy over snow Aerosans (armored, fast sledges) deployed by the Red Army, to enormous siege guns weighing over 100 tons, to small remotely controlled and tracked demolition vehicles, only six feet in length, to the massive and powerfully equipped armored trains deployed by the Soviet Union and Germany.
