Having contacted veterans from practically every Beute-Panzer unit, Werner Regenberg has compiled a massive archive of original documents and photographs directly linked to each unit. Photos with unique unit markings have been included for representative units with captions that correctly identify the Beute-Panzer units.

The real value of the Beute-Panzer can be learned by reading the translated wartime reports written by unit commanders close to the time when the actions occurred.
