Small Scale Military Headquarters

Found this at the US Army Command and General Staff College's Combined Arms Research Library website.. " Building Guderian's Duck: Germany's Response to the Eastern Front Antitank Crisis, 1941 to 1945" At around a hundred pages this is not casual reading, but it has some fascinating information on the development, combat employment, and technical details of the Marder series of vehicles, as well as the Nashorn, Sturmgeschutz, and others.

It covers the defense of St. Vith during the BOB by the 7th Armored Division. It gives and account of how an M8 Greyhound knocks out a King Tiger! Cool!

Yep Oli... I have the St. Vith article you mentioned, and I remember reading the part about the Greyhound taking out the Tiger, it wasn't often that an armored car like the M8 took out a German heavy, but if the conditions were right, it could be done. A very cool story for sure.
