Tigers in Combat: v. 2 (Stackpole Military History): 2 (Stackpole Military History)
£12.29
Excellent reference for those interested in WWII German armour - The companion to Tigers in Combat I, volume II is the completion of Schneider s history of the units and formations equipped with the Tiger tank. The approach is the same as volume I, with the chronology of each regiment presented, supported by some superb photographs. The book is completed by details of regiment equipment, organisation, camouflage and markings. A section of excellent colour illustrations by Jean Restayn provides those interested in armour modelling with ideas aplenty. Overall, a superb book, which I highly recommend.
An excellent reference source for the serious reader - This book is not for the general reader who expects detailed acounts of combat using the Tiger I s and II s. The details are one line entries for the major unit events in date order. For example, the combat history of Schwere Panzerabteilung 504, is covered in 9 pages which covers from its formation in December 42 to its surrender to the British in May 45. Organisation information is given in diagram form together with any revisions throughtout the units life.Where the strength of this book lies, is the superb photographic coverage of the Tiger I s and Tiger II s in action, on the march and at rest. Whilst the price may seem high to some, the coverage with its diversity of photographs, gives a valuable source to anyone intrested in this area.Tigers in combat II - the second book, provides again a similar wealth of reference material, in the same format.
