| Description: | Select Guide Rating The combat story of German Tiger Tank Battalion 503, including hundreds of photos of Tiger tanks in action and personal accounts from the men who rode in these battlefield behemoths. This book tells-with firsthand accounts as well as numerous, never-before-seen photographs-the combat history of German Tiger Tank Battalion 503, the senior Tiger battalion of the German Army, equipped with both the Tiger I and the King Tiger. The unit saw action in the attempted relief of Stalingrad, the tremendous tank engagements at Kursk, and the bitter fighting to relieve German units encircled at the Tscherkassy Pocket. It then defended against the Allies in Normandy in 1944, and ended the war with desperate fighting in Hungary and Austria. |
