Books on Tiger Battalions

[Gasbag]

Tigers in Combat by Wolfgang Schneider is a 2 volume set. Volume I covers the 10 or so Heer (army) battalions while Volume II covers the Waffen SS & GD battalions. They've been reprinted by Stackpole Books in softcover editions. The original hardcover books were published by J.J. Fedorowicz & they're long out of print.

Tiger 1 on the Eastern Front & Tiger 1 on the Western Front (both by Jean Restayn) is another good set. Not quite as good as Tigers in Combat but they contain some very interesting photos & artwork.

Another interesting single unit history is The Combat History of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 508 published by J.J. Fedorowicz.

Sledgehammers: Strengths and Flaws of Tiger Tank Battalions in World War II by Christopher Wilbeck gives a good overall snaphot of the Tiger battalions (draws heavily on Restayn & Schneider). It's published by Stackpole books.

Hope this helps...:)
