Richard Freiherr von Rosen was a highly-decorated Wehrmacht soldier
and outstanding panzer commander. His memoirs, richly illustrated
with contemporary photographs, including key confrontations of
World War II. After serving as a gunlayer on a Pz.Mk.III during
Barbarossa, he led a Company of Tigers at Kursk, later a company of
King Tiger panzers at Normandy and in late 1944 commanded a battle
group (12 King Tigers and a flak Company) against the Russians in
Hungary in the rank of junior, later senior lieutenant (from
November 1944, his final rank.) ?? Only 489 of these King Tiger
tanks were ever built. They were the most powerful heavy tanks to
see service, and only one kind of shell could penetrate their
armour at a reasonable distance. Every effort had to be made to
retrieve any of them bogged down or otherwise immobilized, which
led to many towing adventures. The author has a fine memory and eye
for detail, his account is easy to read and not technical, and adds
very substantially to the knowledge of how the German Panzer Arm
operated in the Second World War.
