Pages 150-153, Der zweite Panzerkampf bei Cambrai am 8.10.1918.

Jones, Rarey, Icks: The Fighting Tanks since 1916 (The National Service Publishing Company, Washington 1933) describes the battle only shortly in the page 48:

"On the 8th of October, 82 tanks of all types were used. On the Niergnies-La Targette line, Mark IV tanks of the 12th Battalion proved of great assistance to their infantry. A tank-against-tank action occurred near this area. The Germans used one male and three female tanks of the Mark IV type, which had been captured by them from the British. The British accounts of this action show that one of the 12th Battalion male tanks put the captured male tank out of action with a six-pounder shell; that one of the female tanks was knocked out by a shell fired by a tank officer from a captured German field gun; and that the other two female tanks retreated. Two British male tanks were struck during the fight, one of them being set on fire. A female tank was nearby, but had a leaky radiator and was about out of water. It was its crew which found and used the field gun."

Just remembered another one:

Yves Buffetaut: The Mark IV Tank in German Colous, October 1918.

An article published in Militaria magazine, 1995. I am not sure which vol. of that year.

If I remember right, this magazine is published also in French...

Oh, yes, I know about this article, I ordered this issue on eBay a few hours ago  Unfortunately for me only French version was available (but luckily my Father knows French ). French version of this article is in Militaria Magazine No 115 and English version is in Militaria Magazine (U.S. Edition) No 13.

By the way, does anyone have Scale Models June 1993, in which there is also an article on beutepanzers? Unfortunetely this issue is not available on eBay at the moment.

Wow, great news! There is no info on Tankograd site so I didn't know about that. Will Rainer Strasheim and Max Hundleby be the authors? How many pages will there be and when will this book be available? I understand that the format of this book will be identical to the Tankograd book on A7V?
