Elephant Paths: the title of this book refers to the unit symbol of StuGAbt 203, later redesignated StuGBrig 203, a charging elephant. The unit proudly displayed this coat of arms on their Sturmgeschütze and other vehicles during the often hard fighting on the Eastern Front. This is the combat history of the Abteilung, told by Thomas Anderson and illustrated with 291 rare and never before published photos, maps and documents.

This book has a limited print run of 1000 copies.
