Description
Catch That Tiger: Churchill's Secret Order That Launched The Most Astounding and Dangerous Mission of World War II
With exclusive access to private diaries and dozens of photographs, this book tells the incredible story of one of the most dangerous and thrilling secret missions of World War II. In 1942, Winston Churchill ordered a brilliant young army engineer, Major Doug Lidderdale, to capture a German Tiger tank.
The mission was fraught with danger, from the battlefields of Tunisia to a terrifying shoot-out with the five-man crew of a Tiger. The Allies were boosted by the capture, and the tank was even brought to London's Horse Guards Parade. But the Germans pursued Lidderdale and his men relentlessly, until the Tiger was finally secured.
