Reviews:
Military Modelling Magazine, February 1996, page 41:
"Information on German WWII and modern tanks and self-propelled guns preserved around the world has been brought up to date into Trevor Larkum's second volume on the subject, which covers the PzKpfw V Panther to the Leopard 2 and their variants.
"The book is similar to Volume 1, A7V to Panzer IV, but its 96 pages cover more vehicles, and thus has more photographs. Vehicles preserved at Kubinka, Saumur, Bovington, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fort Knox, Munster, Koblenz, Thun, Overloon, etc., are featured. It's essential reading for any self-respecting German armour fan looking for prime source material - the real thing - as an aid to modelling.
"Where known, brief histories of preserved vehicles are given and some of these make interesting reading. There's a lot of German WWII tanks 'out there', if you know where to look for them, but armed with this handy little book their whereabouts soon become clear. Excellent value and recommended." K.M.J.
Wheels & Tracks Magazine, Number 55, page 52:
"In issue 51 we reviewed the preceding title, covering A7V to PzKpfw IV. This new book is its sequel and deals with 280 (!) German tracked AFVs preserved in the world, i.e. throughout Europe and in the United States. Much more than just a catalogue it also provides descriptions of the subject types with much interesting detail. In addition to WWII medium and heavy tanks Trevor has covered SP guns on German, Czech and French chassis of the period as well as post-war types like Leopards and their derivatives. A painstaking well-executed work, with 150+ photographs."
