Self-Propelled Guns of the Tiger Family

Wolfgang Schneider is not only a consummate researcher, he is also a Colonel in the German Bundeswehr. This has opened the doors of many armor veterans of World War Two, who have shared their private snapshots and wartime experiences with the author. This has given Schneider the opportunity to create a unique series of books on German armor, and this little volume is a small example. It is a short but useful photo essay on three minor subtypes in the Tiger family, the Elefant, a self-propelled 88 mm gun on the chassis of Dr. Porsche's rejected Tiger P, the Sturmtiger, a turretless assault vehicle that launched converted antisubmarine rockets, and the Jagdtiger, a self-propelled 128mm antitank gun on the King Tiger chassis. There are more elaborate reference books available on all of these vehicles, but if you want a few useful photos to detail a model, this is an inexpensive option.
