By the first weeks of 1945 the Eastern Front had been pushed back
to the Carpathian mountain passes in the south and Warsaw on the
Vistula River in the centre while in the north the German army was
fighting in East Prussia. The Wehrmacht's armoured and mobile
formations were now employed exclusively as fire brigades, rushed
from one crisis to the next as the Red Army pushed inexorably
westward. Critical to the German defence were the army's heavy
Panzer battalions whose Tiger tanks, with their 8.8cm guns, were
almost invincible on the open plains of central Europe. In his
latest book in the TankCraft series Dennis Oliver uses archive
photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to examine
the Tiger tanks and units of the German Army and Waffen-SS heavy
Panzer battalions that struggled to resist the onslaught of Soviet
armour during the last days of the conflict which culminated in the
battle for Berlin. A key section of his book displays available
model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of
beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.
Technical details as well as modifications introduced during
production and in the field are also examined providing everything
the modeller needs to recreate an accurate representation of these
historic tanks.
