Germany's Tiger tank, whether in the form of the Tiger I or later Tiger
II (King Tiger), was the most feared tank of WWII. Despite production
totaling fewer than 2,000 units, its heavy armor, its power, and perhaps
the even more powerful Nazi propaganda machine ensured that the Tiger
remains well known over seven decades after last being on the
battlefield. Through more than 175 photos, this volume chronicles the
design, development, and deployment of this famed German tank.
Full-color photographs of rare surviving examples from around the globe
augment carefully selected war-era photos in bringing this tank back to
life. Comprehensive tables reveal the details of performance and
technical specifications of each variant. A concise, easy-to-read text
and detailed photographic captions expose the secrets of this iconic
tank. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
