AMM6308 AMMO by Mig Axis Military Vehicles: Japan, Italy, Hungary, Finland, and other allies of Germany

Softcover, 139 pages with high-quality period photos and color profiles

The alliances formed by Nazi Germany during World War II can be traced back to agreements such as the 1936 pact with Italy, which led Italian leader Benito Mussolini to coin the term "Axis." This was followed by the 1940 Tripartite Pact, officially aligning Germany, Italy, and Japan as the core Axis powers. Other allied nations included Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. However, geographical distances and political differences—particularly with Japan—often hindered effective coordination.

This book blends historical military analysis with detailed color profiles, examining the contributions and roles of various Axis-aligned nations and their military equipment during World War II.

The collaboration between Daniele Guglielmi and Mario Pieri—renowned experts in military history and modeling—and the talented illustrator Claudio Fernández has produced a unique resource for military vehicle enthusiasts and modelers. Fernández provides meticulously researched high-quality color profiles of vehicles used by the Axis nations.

The result is a compelling reference for both modelers and military history enthusiasts looking for subjects beyond the usual fare. This title features rare examples of vehicles such as the Panther, Tiger, and Kübelwagen, alongside Allied vehicles like the Sherman, T-34, Churchill, Matilda, Jeep, and GMC lorries— some used by Axis forces in unique circumstances.

Many of the images and details presented are rare, offering a more complete understanding of the vehicles that fought alongside Germany in World War II—even when separated by thousands of kilometers, as was the case with Japan.
