DAS REICH TIGERS THE TIGERS OF 8SS PANZER REGIMENT 2 DAS REICH SCHERE SS-PANZER-ABTEILUNG 102 AND SCHERE SS-PANZER-ABTEILUNG 502

Book Type: C, O

By Wolfgang Schneider. Das Reich Tigers chronicles the Tigers associated with "Das Reich" from the beginning to the bitter end: 8./SS-Panzer-Regiment 2; schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 102; and schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 502. This hardcover, large format (9” x 12”) book features: 410 pages, 400+ photographs, 40+ detailed maps, 8 pages of excellent color profiles of DR Tigers, numerous exciting first hand accounts plus organizational diagrams and many tables. Please note that the final cover design might be slightly different from that attached. Das Reich Tigers also features 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" boys was exhaustive in Tigers in Combat 2, this book will tie it altogether: Maps, historical overview, first-hand accounts and lots and lots of photos. Although many of the photographs are previously unpublished a number of the images have been seen before -- let's face it, virtually every known photo of the company and the battalion has been published already -- it's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. This is exceptional unit history and sure to become an armor history classic.  410 pp.
