Recommend 'Blitzkrieg' by Steven Zaloga (Arms &Armour Press, 1980) Excellent colour plates and loads of rare B&W photos of all 1939 armour.- plus OOB for BEF and other armies.  In good second hand book shops its RRP is about £6.

How many BEFs can you think of?

1939 ... 1914 ... 1879 ... 1800s (numerous) ... 2002 ...

And what are the differences?

You are most welcome - great illustrations, readable text and .....very well researched to an academic standard.  Even tackles questions as to why the Germans opted for grey paint!
