Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. ### Diesel Rail Traction: By W J K Davies: An Illustrated History of Diesel Locomotives, Rail-cars and Trains ### ~#~ This book provides a general history of diesel locomotive development rather than a detailed history of any particular type. The contents may surprise many people with their variety. Those who have never really given a second thought to diesel traction in the past may find a new interest within the already fascinating world of railways. Most railway enthusiasts do not highly regard diesel locomotives and railcars, yet we would have far fewer railways today without them. It may surprise some readers of this book to learn that internal-combustion-engined machines have been in railway service for over 75 years, and their history is long and varied. The diesel locomotive is as important a milestone in technological development as the steam locomotive was before it. This book should provide a useful introduction to the subject for all rail enthusiasts and modellers ### #### THIS BOOK: Wonderful images of Diesel Rail Traction engines worldwide, very early locomotives, unrecognisable like anything manufactured today. This is a book of history on the railroad and the developments over the years. #### ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

This is Number 3 of the Wehrmacht Illustrated series. Sticker residue on rear cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. This is a pictorial guide to the German motorized and armored infantry units and their equipment. STRICTLY speaking Panzer-Grenadiers were the armored infantry element of Panzer (tank) Division or Panzer-Grenadier Divisions and were administered by the Inspectorate of Mobile Troops rather than by the Inspectorate of Infantry who administered all other infantry units, In practice, however, the distinction becomes blurred for the infantry units of most Motorized Infantry Divisions (Panzer-Grenadier Divisions) and some Light Divisions were similarly equipped and organized, even though overall divisional organization was different. In November 1942 all infantry units were re-designated as Grenadiers at Hitler's personal command in recognition of the infantry's important status in the war. Hence even the conventional Infantry Division was re-titled as a Grenadier Division from this period onwards. This book is concerned with the mechanized infantry, however, the Panzer-Grenadiers and Motorized Infantry. The German Army had a very flexible attitude to divisional organization.
