"Tigers in the Mud" by Otto Carius is the best Tiger tank memoir- his views are similar to those of other Tiger veterans and wartime documents.

The propaganda value of the Tiger Tank far exceeded its military value- majority of Tiger deployment was supporting infantry to prevent them from running away.

Brand new Tigers tanks were sent to North Africa #OTD in 1942 to help turn the tide in Rommel's favour. Unfortunately for the Germans, there were too few of these tanks to make a difference. #tanks #WW2 #History #WWII

With the German army failing on the Eastern front 1943-1945, officers fell while leading counterattacks. The idea of "Wonder Weapons" like the Tiger Tank grew.

"Knight's Cross to the wooden cross"- despite fighting a lost war 1943-1945, careerism still motivated officers to sacrifice themselves and their men for high awards..

German soldiers exhibited numerous attitudes while fighting a lost war 1943-1945. Fighting for the sake of fighting for their comrades despite their dark future.

The German military was far more prone to surrendering (in hopeless situations) when fighting the Allies than the Soviets- a not often discussed advantage of the Allies.

The typical German division at the front 1943-1945 was reliant on the combat power of their artillery regiment backing up their thinned out infantry ranks.

German army losses increased as the war went on, making it more difficult to rejuvenate frontline strength. June 1944- May 1945 saw the worst losses.
