Sledgehammers
Very detailed discussion on the many engineering flaws that handicapped the Tiger’s performance. Great first person accounts at the end of the book from Allied soldiers who faced and destroyed Tigers. Many maps and detailed statistics of Tiger combat losses. One interesting point was that the Germans never developed a mine sweeping vehicle like the British flail. Instead, they would use the Tigers to explode the mines.
