Re: [New Edition]Henschel Hs 129 Panzerjäger by Martin Pegg
I checked the production table on page 42. I see, total numbers produced is put at 896, of which 889 were accepted.
I compared with my own figure, which says 1165+ built (Henschel Hs 129. MMP Books, 2010, page 99-100, included in the new book's bibliography, on page 294).
I am the first one to admit that my own figure is not 100% correct, as many documents are missing, so piecing together the production table is a great challenge.
However, I can firmly state that Martin Pegg has missed a few production blocks, and I can prove this statement with documents coming from the Rumanian archives, among other sources.
I also greatly miss a link between Werknummern and Stammkennzeichen, as well as production dates of the various batches.
Conclusion: more research needs to be done in order to come up with the most reliable and precise Hs 129 production batch.
