Panzer VI Tiger - Alemania: libros - historia (1/4)

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

The German Tiger tank was the most formidable armored vehicle of the Second World War. Its invincibility was due to its powerful 88 mm gun and its thick armor.
This book sets out in detail the conditions of acquisition, possession and use of this powerful combat vehicle. The Tiger "131" of the Tank Museum of Bovington in the United Kingdom, the only Tiger I in the world to have been restored in working order, is the central subject of this book.

The history of the Tiger is chronicled with a wealth of detailed photographs and text written by a team of Tank Museum specialists, from its birth, development and wartime production to the details of the recent complete disassembly and rebuilding of the "131" and its Maybach engine.
In addition to a unique account of the maintenance and operation of the Tank Museum's Tiger 131, the still vivid memories of German tankers reveal everything there is to know about the combat employment of this 57-ton giant.

French edition of the Haynes book "Tiger Manual".

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.

Panzer VI Tiger und seine Abarten

Seldom has an armored vehicle stirred the emotions of experts and laymen as much as the "Tiger" of the German Wehrmacht. It was first and foremost a brilliant piece of technology that was groundbreaking in many respects.
The few "real" Tiger people still believe that the "Tiger" was the only usable armored vehicle. But the mighty battle tank also had its weaknesses, especially in the area of motorization.

Walter J. Spielberger and Hilary L. Doyle present the various "Tiger" versions from all sides in this richly illustrated technical documentation.
