Preserved Tanks

About PreservedTanks.com

PreservedTanks.com has been created by Trevor Larkum of Armour Archive to provide information on preserved tanks around the world. It is being built initially using the content from existing Armour Archive publications, including Preserved German Tanks 1: A7V to Panzer IV, Preserved German Tanks 2: Panzer V Panther to Leopard 2, Preserved Tanks in France, Preserved Tanks in Russia, and so on (these publications are available as paperback books from Armour Archive).

The first books to be put online were Preserved German Tanks Volumes 1 and 2 (see the links at the top). So far the first chapter of Preserved Tanks in Russia, covering Kubinka Tank Museum, is also online whilst the first chapter of Preserved Tanks in France, covering Normandy, is in the process of being added.

The site went online publicly, in beta form, on Sunday 8th June 2008.

Preserved Tanks in Italy

A busy month - and two bits of good news:

Firstly, with Massimo Foti, who made the major contribution to Preserved Tanks in Switzerland, I am currently working on Preserved Tanks in Italy. Although it is still a work-in-progress it is shaping up well so it's time to make it available for everyone:

Preserved Tanks in Italy

Keep an eye on it over the next few weeks as it is developing fast.

Secondly, the site recently underwent a major upgrade. The most obvious changes are that photographs are now displayed at a much higher resolution when you click through to them, and also there is now a specific Profile page for each tank in the database that contains all the information for that tank in one place. As an example, here's the new Profile page for the Tiger II at Full mentioned in a previous blog:

Swiss King Tiger

More upgrades are planned for the new year.
