Description

The Combat History of schwere Panzer-Abteilung 508: In Action in Italy with the Tiger I

The Combat History of schwere Panzer-Abteilung 508 is an excellent companion volume to The Combat History of schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503. The book is nott as large because not as much information or photos are available, but it is comprehensive and provides about as complete an overview of the battalion as you are likely to get.

Kurt Hirlinger has worked closely with veterans of s.Pz.Abt.508 to tell the story of the unit in word and pictures.
