"The engine of the Panzer is a weapon just as the main-gun." Heinz
Guderian During World War II Tiger tank crews had to be trained as
quickly and effectively as possible. To assist in this process
General Heinz Guderian authorised the publication of the
Tigerfibel, the illustrated manual which was issued to Tiger I
crews from 1943 onwards. This highly unorthodox publication was
full of risque drawings and humorous illustrations and was designed
to convey complex battlefield instructions in a simple and
memorable manner. This unique primary source has now been
translated into English by Emmy Award winning historian Bob
Carruthers. It makes for indispensable reading for anyone
interested in tank warfare in World War II. The manual contains
everything the reader could ever wish to know concerning how the
crews were instructed to handle the Tiger I under combat
conditions. The Tigerfibel contains the original German publication
with a complete English translation and a new overview and
introduction. The Tigerfibel contains detailed instructions on
aiming, firing, ammunition and close combat. There are extensive
sections on maintenance, driving, radio operation and the
essentials of commanding a Tiger I in combat. This priceless
information is now being made available to a wider English speaking
audience as an electronic publication for the first time.
Interesting and highly accessible, the Tigerfibel is essential and
rewarding reading for all readers interested in the history of this
famous tank. This book is part of the 'Hitler's War Machine'
series, a new military history range compiled and edited by Emmy
Award winning author and historian Bob Carruthers. The series draws
on primary sources and contemporary documents to provide a new
insight into the true nature of Hitler's Wehrmacht. The series
consultant is David Mcwhinnie creator of the award winning PBS
series 'Battlefield'.
