About this ebook
WWII began with a metallic roar as the German Blitzkrieg raced across Europe, spearheaded by the most dreaded weapon of the 20th century: the Panzer. No German tank better represents that thundering power than the infamous Tiger, and Otto Carius was one of the most successful commanders to ever take a Tiger into battle, destroying well over 150 enemy tanks during his incredible career.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author makes driving a sixty tonne panzer into life and death combat sound simple.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Jawohl! Basically a war diary - is interesting to see life from a war grunt's view but this guy didn't think all that much about his situation. I guess that in itself is telling, as I'd guess most veterans didn't delve into the mysteries of "why the heck are we doing this?!?". So, given that this is mostly a diary of one man's trail thru the german military machine, that is interesting, just not _super_ interesting.Good audiobook narrator
