Panzer VI Tiger und seine Abarten - Gebundene Ausgabe

Dr.Erwin Aders, the developer of the armored car VI Tiger. From 1936 he became head of the development department of the company Henschel & Sohn in Kassel and was chief of tank development. Numerous unpublished illustrations of the tiger, especially the E production from the house of Henschel Wehrtechnik in Kassel are shown in this book. Rarely has an armored vehicle aroused the spirits of professionals and laymen in such a manner as the »Tiger« of the German Wehrmacht. How difficult it really is to objectively assess the performance of the chariot has also been the responsibility of the head of development, Dr. Ing. Erwin Aders, learns: "As late as October 1942, the tiger, by authoritative name, was called a 'lame cart' and the tower was compared to a tin can. This was caused by a first wrong use. After a few months ... that glorification in the press set in, which had to touch us just as unpleasantly ... as the earlier contempt. " This dispute is still going on. The few "real" Tiger people who had given the vehicle a real chance of survival are still convinced today that the "Tiger" was the only usable armored vehicle. But the "Tiger" also had its weaknesses, especially in the field of motorization. Walter J. Spielberger, a leading expert in the field of German military vehicles of the Second World War, and Hilary L. Doyle, who created the scale drawings, introduce in this richly illustrated technical documentation the various "Tiger" versions from all sides. Over 30 years of intensive research are reflected in this work.
