Those are some fun old catalogs Ulrich, thanks for posting them!

I was especially interested in the Karl Bub catalog, I've heard of Bub but didn't know much about them.  Interesting in one respect, they used the word "tank" when I would have expected them to use "panzer" or "panzerwagen."  I guess "tank" takes up a lot less space!
