Free shipping within US. More for overseas. Foreign buyers, please contact me about the possibility of shipping refund. As I have edited every page of every manual to remove blemishes and scanning problems, the images in these files  differ from the original manuals. My changes are all copyright 2004-2020. Permission is given for personal, educational, and research use only.

 All the scans were made at 400 lpi. Most of the manuals were originally 6"x9" format. These scans have been hand-edited to make sure the half-tone images are clear and all the text and diagrams are legible. The medium tanks were originally made with the 76mm gun. In response to the later Panzer weaponry, the tanks were modified to take the 90mm gun with its increased range. Some structural changes were required to make this work.

Manuals have been indexed. A full-text index across all manuals is included on the disc.
