THE TIGER PROJECT A SERIES DEVOTED TO GERMANY'S WWII TIGER TANK CREWS BOOK ONE ALFRED RUBBEL SCHWERE PANZER (TIGER) ABTEILUNG 503
Book Type: C, O Series edited by Dale Rutter. This series delves into the inner workings of Germany's most fearsome panzers of WWII, the Tiger and Tiger II. These books are about the men who crewed these battlefield behemoths. Based mainly on interviews, personal diaries, and recollections, the series will present the German Tiger and King Tiger crewmen as soldiers who had the opportunity to serve as a member of a crew and units that fielded this extraordinary weapon. This series will include all levels of soldiers from the Tigerabteilung commanders, down to the drivers, loaders, gunners, and radio-operators. Each book is an oversize hardcover. This first book is devoted solely to Alfred Rubbel, who served on the Russian Front from the opening of Barbarossa through to the end of the war. When the new Tiger-abteilungs were raised, Rubbel was assigned to one as a newly commissioned officer. Throughout his years in the panzers he experienced both the elation of the opening successes of Barbarossa and the demoralizing withdrawal back over the borders of the Third Reich. Combining his military experiences with over 200 photographs, the majority of which are previously unpublished, creates a very readable account from an everyday soldier who also happened to have the privilege of serving in one of the most successful tanks ever produced. This is actually his personal war diary. 240 pp.
