Description
The German Tiger I was the most feared battle tank of the Second World War. Its invincibility lay in its main 8.8cm gun and heavy defensive armour. This book offers a rare insight into acquiring, owning and operating one of these awesome fighting machines, using the UK's Tank Museum's Tiger 131 - the only Tiger I in the world that has been restored to full running order. It also includes vivid personal recollections from wartime German tank crewmen, revealing what it was like to operate this 57-ton giant in combat. Written by a team of experts from the Tank Museum who were closely involved with the strip-down and rebuild of the Tiger I, the book provides unique insights into maintenance and driving the Tiger.
