scanning forever
How long do you think it would take to scan all of those?
1 month? 1 year?
Most handbuchs run 400+ pages.... some 500 some 600...
scanning.... for someone with tons of time on their hands
early handbuchs (late 50's) were hardcover
then they switched to vinyl ring binders ( 60's vintage - these are very cumbersome...not my faves)
then vinyl softcovers (70's issue)
then pulpy hardcovers (80's issue)
As technology changed some buch subjects were expanded or deleted... eg, amphibious afv handbuch featuring the PT-76 was not repeated in the 80's
yes some specifically handbuchs are geared for tankers, fallis, recon troops, chemical troops, etc...etc....etc
