Description

Tigerfibel (1943) - The Tank Museum Are Republishing a New and Authentic English Language Reproduction

Unlike previous translations of Tigerfibel, this cloth-back, colour edition published by The Tank Museum will feature a new English language translation carefully set over the German.

The Tigerfibel was originally produced for the young conscripts who would have been operating the Tiger Tank in the Second World War. This engaging historical document takes the complexities of operating the Tiger Tank and boils them down into an easy to read and engaging handbook. 

Based on the original document housed in our Archive, this self-published title will feature English text carefully set over the German, retaining the rhyming verses and intended wit of the authors. 

Such sophisticated machines required considerable knowledge to keep them in action, so commanders sought to snag the interest of young tank crews with these light-hearted, well-illustrated handbooks.

            Perfect for understanding the Tiger

            Excellent documentation with explanations to better understand how the Tiger works, I recommend.

            Great reproduction of the original. One can see from the timber of the text and illustrations that they were trying to convey important facts to a young audience. It echoes the fact that it was a deadly earnest manual to help its users survive.

            Completely cool

            Bought this for my son, who , like the old man , is accumulating a large German armour collection .
            By the time I got it to Canada it cost 113$.
            Worth every penny

            Interesting

            I’ve been interested and researched the Tiger Tank for about 15 years and having a translated copy of the crew hand book was an essential & useful addition to my reference library. I can appreciate that there has been much work on the translation to maintain the original German appearance and psyche of the time it was complied. My only grumble is the price. £40 is a lot of money for such a small book but, I understand that the print run must be limited which has influenced the price.
