SynopsisThis new two volume study of Germany's heaviest Jagdpanzer (tank destroyer) is the result of nearly twenty years of exhaustive research.Volume one, Technical History, presents a well-structured and highly detailed technical analysis of this complex tank destroyer. Using manufacturer's documentation, drawings, and photographs combined with Intelligence analysis, this work details the origin, design, construction and assembly of the vehicle. The armor, armaments, engine, transmission, suspension systems, electrical and optical equipment, together with the operation and maintenance procedures are included to complete this definitive analysis., Volume two, Operational History, covers the training, transport, deployment and a month by month fighting account of the two Panzer J ger units equipped with Jagdtigers. Using original documentation and veteran accounts in the text; documents, maps and the wealth of striking photographs presented, dramatically illustrate the combat experiences of these unique weapons. Other planned deployments and training vehicles are covered, together with Intelligence reports and a detailed study of the three surviving examples. The author's own color artwork illustrating the camouflage systems used completes this definitive study of the Jagdtiger.
