Howdid I forget this one...
"Tiger Tanks", by Michael Green. Motorbooks, ISBN 0-87938-954-0
This one is really good for technical info, with an iteresting twist- the point of view of the book is that of American tests and reports on the tiger. The author lists both Spielberger and Jentz (along with others) in his sources, so I'm guessing he has his info correct. But it's also really interesting to hear it from an american perspective. And as far as depth goes- incredible. You could probably drive and operate a Tiger after reading this.

also- in his sources-
Jones, T. Gregory "Panzerheld, teh Story of Michael Wittman, World War II's Greatest Tank Commander" (?) Self-published by author, 1993

anyone?
