| Susumu Iwamoto's
DOAK. A collector of tanks from this collector in
Japan, Susumu has recently changed the focus of his
site. As he says:
'The new title of the site is "DOAK". The new
site contains two different parts. these are;
"Delightful Observer of Animal Kingdom"
I will upload pictures of wild animals in East
Africa.
"Deutsches Ost Afrika Korps" (German East
Africa Corps)
This part handles German Tank issue. But there
will be not uploading of new collections. The main contents of the part will
be war history, tank tactics, organization of panzer troops and wargaming.
And almost all contents will be written in Japanese'
. This page is in Japanese, to get an English translation, paste this link http://homepage2.nifty.com/panzerdivgangu/ into Babel Fish, AltaVista's page translator, select Japanese to English, and press translate! It takes a minute or two...don't panic :-). or go to: http://babelfish.altavista.com/
