Fedorowicz Publishing ISBN:9780921991830 Item No. 9780921991830 This book will chronicle the Tigers associated with "Das Reich" from the beginning to the bitter end: 8./SS-Panzer-Regiment 2; schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 102; and schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 502. For the first time, this famous formation will receive a complete unit history devoted entirely to it. While the photographic coverage of the "Das Reich" boys was exhaustive in Tigers in Combat 2, this book will tie it altogether: Maps, historical overview, first-hand accounts and lots and lots of photos. While many of the images have been seen before -- let's face it, virtually every known photo of the company and the battalion has been published already -- it's the total package that will delight not only modelers, but also historians, armor buffs and collectors.CHAPTERS 1 - Foreword 2 - Part A: Schwere Panzer-Kompanie of SS-Panzer-Regiment 2 of SS-Panzer Grenadier-Regiment “Das Reich”.
