Book Synopsis Tigers in Normandy by : Wolfgang Schneider
Book excerpt: "[The author] details the combat history of the Tiger in the months following the Allies' invasion of France ... The Tiger might have bested most of its opponents in tank-on-tank combat, but the Germans' deteriorating situation in Normandy meant that the Tigers could not be deployed effectively and that losses could not be replaced. The surviving Tigers joined the battered German forces that escaped through the Falaise Gap in August 1944. Featuring orders of battle, tank inventories, maps, period photos, and then-and-now shots of terrain, [this book] vividly recreates the Tiger's battles from June to August 1944 and carefully assesses its tactical and operational performance"--Jacket.
