An insight into the sprawling and enigmatic organization that was the Waffen-SS By examining in great detail the 226 Tiger crewmen at Kursk.
Kursk is often labeled the "Greatest Tank Battle in History". The Wehrmacht fielded a total of just 120 Tiger tanks during the engagement, including 35 from the 2nd SS Panzer Corps. This corps comprised of the three most controversial divisions of the Second World War: Leibstandarte, Das Reich, and Totenkopf.
This project aims to scrape away the mythology surrounding the most feared soldiers, who crewed the most iconic tank, at one of the most vicious battles of the Second World War.

A hard cover volume with 224 pages and 120 b+w wartime photos and maps.
