Tiger I on the Western Front

Rating:
Summary: Book for modelers only!
Review: This book and its companion (Tiger 1 on the Eastern Front), are excellent compilations of photographs of the dreaded Tiger 1 tank (PzVI). That being said, the titles should read "A modelers guide to the Tiger 1 on the..." Overall, I enjoyed these books because you could read them in about 1 hour, and then spend the time pouring over the photos with a magnifying glass. There are some fantastic shots of the Tigers in action. Unfortunately, there is not much in the way of military information, armament details, AAR's or other. Excellent book, but I'd have been much happier if it had been about [price] cheaper.

For the true Tiger die hard, skip these and put your money towards "Tigers in Action"

Summary: Another Good One From Jean Restayn
Review: This book is obviously a sequel to the already very good "Tiger I on the Eastern front". Again, it is filled with beautiful pictures of Tiger I and its presentation made it very enjoyable to read. Although I already have over fifty books on Tiger I on my bookself, there is always space for another good one. A "must-have" for all World War 2 AFV modeling enthusiasts.

Summary: A Compliment to Jean Restayn - excellent!
Review: Together with the first book, Tiger 1 on the Eastern front, this book tells the story of the most feared tank of World War II- The German Tiger IE heavy tank. From the Tunisian plains to the snowfields of the Bulge, this tank crushed the ground with its heavy tracks. Jean Restayn has managed to capture the feel of the tank perfectly in this book. As a modeler, I find this book to be amongst the most coveted in my collection.
