Tiger, tiger burning bright...

[unmerged(4876)]

Does anyone have any combat info on the German pz Tiger or Panther? I know the bascs; Tiger had 88 mm gun, Panther 75 mm, little over a thousand tigers, more than 3K Panthers built, panther medium tank, tiger heavy, but I'm looking for info on how they did.

Any info out there?

HB, going through your stats again. One question came to mind. How were recovery and repair assets allocated? Div Mk. Vs and VIs get a disproporionate number of assets, due to their greater expense and much greater combat power?

Thanks for the link, Hannibal!

BTW, which tank commander had the greatest number of tank kills? And for that matter, who was the biggest ace of WWII?

There asigned at div, batt level depending if there a div or Ind Batt asset.

That would have been Michael Wittmann...the hero of Vilars-Bocage with 112 confirmed kills.

Ebusitanus, was he Allied or German?

German..but Hannibal has already written about him in another threat in this same forum.

Here is another good site for the story of Wittman.

Calvin,

If you're really interested in Michael Wittmann, you should try to get a hold of Patrick Agtes "Michael Wittmann and the Tiger Commanders of the Leibstandarte". I highly recommend it - there's a review here:
