•⊂ Hundreds of photos--many of them rare--of Tiger tanks and their crews •⊂ Color illustrations by Jean Restayn focus on markings, camouflage, and insignia •⊂ Inventories and timelines for each unit In this follow-up to Tigers in Combat I (0-8117-3171-5), Wolfgang Schneider turns his attention to the Tiger tanks of the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht's "named" units, such as the Großdeutschland Division, Company Hummel, and Tiger Group Meyer. Based on combat diaries, the text tells the history of each unit, but most of the book is devoted to photos of the tanks and the men who manned them. It offers as unique and comprehensive a look at these lethal machines as is possible decades after World War II.
Wolfgang Schneider, an expert on German armor, lives in Germany.
...plenty of options for recreating combats and even a sort of solo campaign using a scaled-down Tiger battalion plus supporting units, facing random situations and reinforcements.
