No fewer than ten Abteilungen of the Heer and three of the Waffen-SS would be equipped with it, whether in the Tiger I or Tiger II version. To this must be added the three heavy tank-destroyer battalions equipped with Jagdpanzer Elefant and Jagdtiger, vehicles derived respectively from the Tiger I's unsuccessful competitor in the first case and from the Tiger II in the second.

 

On every front (Tunisia, Italy, Normandy, the Ardennes, Leningrad, Ukraine, Poland, the Reich…), the crews of these «big cats» would wreak havoc in Allied ranks with their 8.8cm guns and would produce the greatest aces of the Panzerwaffe: Wittmann, Carius, Knispel, Wendorff, Schroif, Bolter, Egger, to name but a few.


The Tiger and its glorious lineage fully deserved a comprehensive study in its own right. Through these two volumes presenting in detail the four aforementioned heavy armoured vehicles and recounting the history of each of their units, the publisher finally offers the definitive reference works on the subject in the French language!
