In this follow-up to Tigers in Combat I (0811731715), Wolfgang Schneider turns his attention to the Tiger tanks of the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht's named units, such as the Gro_deutschland Division, Company Hummel, and Tiger Group Meyer. Based on actual combat diaries, the text provides the history of each unit, outlining strength, equipment, commanders, and engagements. But the heart of the book is the hundreds of photos, many of them rare, that show these tanks and their crews in action and at rest. Supplementing these are intricate color drawings that bring the Tigers to life and concentrate on markings, camouflage, and insignia. The book offers a stunning and unique look at the Tiger.
