Hello, I am looking for help concerning the Schützenpanzerwagen 38 / SPW 38(d). This would be the first design for and fully tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV).
This article appeared in the September 1974 'AFV News' magazine. No other information available until c. 2001.
Source unknown. Is it possible this came from the Feldgrau Magazine? Does anyone have, or access it, and the set of these magazines? If so, would someone be willing to look through them to find the article? Such an article is mentioned in the AFV News article. Further information was discovered in 2018 at the following website: zhurnalko.net 3 pages of drawings show a different design of SPW 38. Does anyone know the source of these drawings / information? And the model of the 1st type (AFV News) was made in resin would be the FCM early this century. I have all the relevant Francev, Kliment, Doyle, Jentz and Spielberger books. I'm looking for - probably - unpublished information, especially drawings of the SPW and the 38d chassis (all versions). Hope someone can help.

Many thanks for posting those. I never found the 1st page. It's not in the issue 03-1997 on the website And linked it. So, thanks for providing the missing page. I tried contacting George Bradford several months ago. I never received a reply. I tried using Google Translate on the Russian text. Of all those designs shown only one is truly 38d (see page 4) This is the one that interests me most.
I'm not sure what you mean about the German text. Click on the text icon and a PDF file will open. You'll see the German text and my attempt to translate it. Hope this helps..

Dear Sir, Sorry, but I do not speak English, so I use an electronic compiler.
Mr. Bradford is very old, but perhaps it could be represented by Hilary Louis Doyle, who worked with Walter J. Spielberger and Thomas L. Jentz. Maybe he could help Christian Ankerstjerne from the Danish IPMS, which was involved in German technology.

Hello, I understand. I only speak English. I have exchanged e-mails with Hilary Doyle. He remembers the AFV News article. In 44 years of research, he has found nothing on the Schützenpanzer 38.
Thamk you very much for your help and suggestions.
