Panzer VI Tiger - Deutschland: Bücher - Geschichte (1/4)

Panzer VI Tiger und seine Abarten

Selten hat ein Panzerfahrzeug die Gemüter von Fachleuten und Laien in einer solchen Weise erregt, wie der "Tiger" der Deutschen Wehrmacht. Dabei war er in erster Linie ein brillantes Stück Technik, das in vielerlei Hinsicht wegweisend war.
Die nur noch wenigen "echten" Tigerleute sind heute noch überzeugt, dass der "Tiger" das einzige brauchbare Panzerfahrzeug war. Doch der mächtige Kampfpanzer hatte auch seine Schwächen, vor allem Im Bereich der Motorisierung.

Walter J. Spielberger und Hilary L. Doyle stellen in dieser reich bebilderten technischen Dokumentation die verschiedenen "Tiger"-Ausführungen von allen Seiten vor.

Germany's Tiger Tanks (2) - VK 45.02 to Tiger II - Design, Production & Modifications

This volume covers development from the VK 45.02(P), VK 45.03(H) to the modifications under design for the Tiger II at the end of the war. All of this illustrated with scale drawings by Hilary L. Doyle combined with drawings, sketches, and photographs depicting external modifications is well as internal views.
The written records were supplemented by examining thousands of photos.

On-sight research into almost all the surviving Tigers provided details that could only be obtained from actual specimens. New information was found on the evolution of the heavy tank series, the key decisons on the design of the Tigers, the significant modifications made during the production runs, production statistics, the Tigers characteristics and tactical capabilities, an exact accounting of the issue of the Tigers to the combat units, and combat account written directly after the actions.

Germany's Tiger Tanks (1) - D.W. to Tiger I - Design, Production & Modifications

This first volume, of a three-volume set, covers the history, development and production history of the Tiger tank variants from the idea's conception to the end of Tiger I production. This includes details on the development series known as the D.W., VK 30.01(H), VK 30.01(P), VK 36.01(H), VK 45.01(P) as well as the Tiger I.
All of this illustrated with scale drawings by Hilary L. Doyle, combined with drawings, sketches, and photographs depicting external modifications as well as internal views.
Over thirty years of intensive research went into finding the original documents needed to create this history of the development, characteristics, and tactical capabilities of the Tiger. An exhaustive search was made for surviving records of the design/assembly firms (including Krupp, Henschel, Porsche, and Wegmann), the Heereswaffenamt, the Generalinspekteur der Panzertruppen, the D656 series of manuals on the Tiger, and the war diaries with their supporting reports from German army units. This is supplemented by the authors' collecting hundreds of photos and climbing over, under, around, and through nearly every surviving Tiger I.

Tigers I and II : Germany's Most Feared Tanks of World War II (Legends of Warfare)

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.

Char Tigre 1 - Panzerkampfwagen VI Sd.Kfz.181 Tiger I

Le char Tigre allemand fut le plus redoutable blindé de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Son invincibilité tenait à son puissant canon de 88 mm et à sa cuirasse épaisse.
Cet ouvrage expose avec précision les conditions d'acquisition, de détention et d'utilisation de ce puissant engin de combat. Le Tigre "131" du Tank Museum de Bovington au Royaume-Uni, seul Tigre I au monde à avoir été restauré en ordre de marche, constitue le sujet central de cet ouvrage.

L'historique du Tigre est rapporté avec une abondance de photographies de détail et un texte rédigé par une équipe de spécialistes du Tank Museum, depuis sa naissance, son développement et sa production en temps de guerre jusqu'aux détails du récent démontage complet et de la reconstruction du "131" et de son moteur Maybach.
Outre un exposé unique de l'entretien et de la conduite du Tigre 131 du Tank Museum, les souvenirs encore très vifs de tankistes allemands révèlent tout de ce qu'il faut savoir de l'emploi au combat.de ce géant de 57 tonnes.
