THE BOOK:
MMP (Mushroom Model Publications) is based in the UK. All their books are printed in Poland by Stratus in Lublin, in English. Stratus Stratus also does their own line of books in Polish and English.
This book is soft-cover of 72 pages in 8 ¼” x 11 ¾” page format.
The cover art shows a black and white photo of a sIG 33 with a 6 man crew, in a field near a wood fence with a forest behind it.
The back cover shows black and white cover arts of other books in MMP’s Camera On series:
Renault R25 & R40 Through a German Lens, Camera On no. 26.
Schwerer Gelandegiger Personenkraftwagen & Successors. Camera On no. 27.
German Horse Power, Horse-drawn elements of the German Army. Camera On no. 4
35cm Sfh 18, German Heavy Howitzer, Camera On no 12.
It contains 111 black and white wartime photos of the sIG 33 and its gun crews.
Most of the time the photos show the gun being towed by horses. Only a few times by vehicles.
There are 3 black and white photos of the gun with a heavy A.T. grenade in its barrel and a cut-away line drawing of the grenade.
This is one neat picture album of this gun. It will be of great interest to modelers planning to build a sIG 33 and to military historians alike.
I sincerely want to thank Casemate Publishers, the N. American distributor of MMP books, for this review sample.
