The German Tiger heavy tank was a monster of a machine that
dominated the battlefields of Europe. One of the most feared
weapons of World War II, the Tiger gained an aura of invincibility
that was only shattered by the introduction of the Sherman Firefly
during the summer of 1944. Specifically designed by the British to
combat the Tiger, the Sherman Firefly was based on the standard
American M4A4 Sherman medium tank, but was fitted with a powerful
17-pounder gun which made it a deadly opponent for the Tiger.
This book describes the design and development of these two fierce
opponents, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses and assessing
their tactics, weaponry and training. Innovative gun-sight artwork
puts the reader "inside" the tanks during famous real-life battle
scenarios, including the infamous Panzer ace Michael Wittman
leading four Tigers into battle against eight Fireflies, a clash of
steel that was a victory not only for superior Allied numbers, but
also for Allied tactics and engineering.
