Schiffer Publishing TIGERS IN THE ARDENNES: The 51st Heavy SS Tank Battalion in the Battle of the Bulge 347900

In this book, U.S. Army officer and military historian Gregory Walden provides the most detailed account to date of the actions of a single German battalion in the Battle of the Bulge. Tigers in the Ardennes is the product of years of research in archives, conversations with German and American veterans, and detailed examination of terrain in the Ardennes battlefields. The author’s experience as a tank unit commander provides unique insight into the tactical challenges of armored movements through the Ardennes, particularly given the technical aspects of the Tiger II tanks. The book includes over 100 images, many of them photographs of the Tiger II tanks never before published, plus detailed maps showing the routes used by the 501st Heavy SS Tank Battalion during the battle.
