A while back I got Osprey's Sturmartillerie and Panzerjäger 1939 - 45 as a present. I sent Osprey a lengthy e-mail detailing the numerous mistakes and just plain wrong stuff in this book. I couldn't believe Bryan Perrett put his name on it.

One of my more extreme notes was a rebuttal to a picture of a knocked out Hetzer with a US soldier standing by it on pg 38 captioned: A blown-out Hetzer, evidently caught in a village under bombardment. From the massive fractures in the main armor, it seems to have suffered a direct hit from a large-caliber high explosive shell. My rebuttal was something to the effect: [i]No, it didn't suffer a "large-caliber high explosive shell" hit. It was knocked out by Private Kenneth G. Walker, Co F, 142nd Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division with a bazooka at Oberhoffen Germany. Private Walker is posing with his kill. The reason for the massive damage is that location on the vehicle is where most of the ammunition for the main gun is stored. The bazooka hit set off the ammunition wrecking the vehicle.
