Tanks of World War II

Allied and Axis Tank Data and 4-View AFV Plans

Tanks of World War II provides students of military history with an extensive database of tracked armored vehicles developed for the armed forces of the WWII era. The armored vehicle listings are primarily organized by country of origin. Over 200 armored vehicles listed have detailed and standardized specifications of armor protection, firepower, mobility as well as general information about production and design. Many of these tanks also have one (or more) four-view technical drawings available. War gamers and military modelers may also find this some of this information useful.
