Das Reich Tigers (Wolfgang Schneider)

[Panzer Bob]

Hello, all!

Shameless plug department…

JJ Fedorowicz Publishing will be putting out the above in the middle of November. This is Wolfgang Schneider's (Tigers in Combat I and II, Panzertaktik) take on the Tiger boys of the "Das Reich" and successor formations: 8./SS-Panzer-Regiment 2; schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 102; and schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 502.

This book features:

• 396 pages
• 8 pages of color
• several hundred photos
• scores of maps
• lots of first-hand accounts
• exhaustive appendices listing camouflage, markings, tank commanders, duty positions throughout the battalion, every existing monthly status report and a sampling of award recommendations.

For the first time, this famous formation will receive a complete unit history devoted entirely to it. While the photographic coverage of the "Das Reich" Tigers was exhaustive in Tigers in Combat 2, this book will tie it all together: Maps, historical overview, first-hand accounts and lots and lots of photos. While many of the images have been seen before -- let's face it, virtually every known photo of the company and the battalion has been published already -- it's the total package that will delight not only modelers, but also historians, armor buffs and collectors.

I just picked up Tigers in Combat II at the local bookstore. Amazing photos and the ability to know who was in command of those knocked out AFV's.

I simply love the TiC books, the best photos IMO are in vol. I. The only downside with JJF is usually the price wich tend to be on the heavy side but the sheer number of pictures and their quality is simply outstanding.
