The Tiger Tanks (1991) By Peter Gudgin
 
The definitive illustrated account of the design, armament, and operational history of the most formidable German tank of the Second World War.
 
The German Tiger heavy tank has become a legend despite the fact that fewer than 2,000 were built. It was designed around the famous "88" gun, a fearsome weapon dreaded by Allied tank crews. With its immense fire-power and protective armour, the Tiger set new standards in tank design and is regarded by many today as the finest heavy tank in service with any army during the Second World War. The story cannot be told by a person better qualified than Peter Gudgin. Commanding a Churchill tank in North Africa in 1943, his tank was knocked out by a Tiger, which was subsequently captured intact, becoming the first example to be inspected by experts (one of whom was Peter Gudgin) in Britain. This detailed and authoritative history is accompanied by 150 photographs and two dozen line-drawings, making this one of the most definitive additions to the expanding library on German tanks
