I have been following this interesting thread since its conception (?), with a lot of interest. And this morning it hit me: I have a BOOK on this subject (what are the changes of that?);
DIE TIGER KOMMEN! Ostfront 1943 - 1945 by Franz Kurowski.
Content:
- Wie der Tiger Enstand
- Die Schweren Panzerjaegerabteilungen
- Schwere Panzerabteilung 502 in Russland
- Oberleutnant Otto Carius
- Major Willy Jaehde
- Der Rueckzug nach Pstpreussen
- Die Tiger bei der "Leibstandarte"
- Der grosse Siegeslauf
- Die winterschlacht: Brussilow und Shitomir
- Entsatzvorstoss auf Tscherkassy
I am sure Martin is willing to use his languistic capabilities to translate any part of this book that you have need for, Crazy....
But seriuosly, on page 15 he describes what Martin quoted from his book, but with more detail, I guess. He writes about the "widespread misunderstanding" about the arrival and first deployment of the Tigers and spends the next couple of pages describing, partlt through the mouth of veterans, how the first and second attack went and the Lessons Learned.
I don't think this book has been translated into English yet...Martin???
