Description

The final battles of World War II's Western Front saw two legendary tanks clash: the German Tiger I and the US M26 Pershing. By 1945, the Tiger I had earned a formidable reputation, but its limitations made it vulnerable to newer designs. The Pershing, meanwhile, entered combat in February 1945, with over 20 seeing action before the war's end. This book examines the dramatic duel between these two tanks at Elsdorf in Germany, as well as clashes between German armor and a single "Super Pershing" deployed to Europe. Featuring full-color artwork, carefully chosen photographs, and specially commissioned maps, it tells the story of the first US heavy tanks in combat with the fearsome Tiger I during World War II's final months. The book provides a detailed assessment of these tank battles, shedding light on the technological and tactical differences between these two iconic vehicles.
