Page Up for "Black Cross Red Star: Volume 6, August 1943 – February 1944"

[Griffon]

just ordered via Zinnfiguren they are down to two available copies now and should be sold out pretty soon too...
looking forward to adding the new volume to my collection as I have all of the series (including the original three volumes plus the four that Midland did in the 2000s)...

[Christer Bergström]

Yes, I know. They just ordered another big batch.

I have received orders for 80 copies of Black Cross Red Star Vol. 6 yesterday and today, so now there are only 70 copies left - out of 1,000 copies that were printed four weeks ago.

But orders keep arriving all the time, so I guess Volume 6 will soon be completely sold out.

There is also a big rush for the previous volumes now.

If anyone would like to secure a copy, please order it from me at vaktelforlag@gmail.com

I have got a got and read BCRS vol 6 a fine book when it comes to research, phots writing, color profiles ect will buy vol 7 when it comes out. The only thing I have against it is typos some better editing is needed.

Some armor comments BCRS Vol 6 page 151 "..tanks with red stars on their turrets."

The Eastern Front Armor Camouflage and markings 1941 to 1945 SJ Zaloga & J Grandsen
on the Red star on Soviet tanks: "It was applied occasionally by crews on an unofficial basis during the course of the war, and it's use increased dramatically in the final year of the war. However, even then it was far from commonplace."

There were Guards Tanks units that did have the Guards badge which includes a red star painted on them.

Also during one 1943 offensive there was an air identity marking in the form of a white triangle with a red star on it painted on the tops of turrets.

i hope this is of some use.
