Early Access: Tigers vs US Troops (Patreon)

US Troops: Every Tank a Tiger!

The Tiger tank is heavily featured in documentaries, games and movies, e.g., in Saving Private Ryan, the final battle is about US Infantry fighting German troops that have 2 Tigers available in the fictional village of Ramelle or another famous encounter in the movie Fury between a Tiger and several Shermans. Yet, the question is, how often did US Troops really fight the Tiger I on the Western Front so without Italy, since well, the historical records about these encounters are thin, very thin. »» GET BOOKS & VIDEOS «« » Stukabook - Doctrine of the German Dive-Bomber - http://stukabook.com » The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com » Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com » Tank Assault - Combat Manual of the Soviet Tank Forces 1944 - http://stm44.com » IS-2 Stalin's Warhammer - http://www.is-2tank.com » StuG: Ausbildung, Einsatz und Führung der StuG Batterie - http://stug-hdv.de » Achtung Panzer?
