Die Tigerfibel 1943 (Tiger users manual 1943) http://www.bills-bunker.de/media//DIR_111001/4203297340c99131ffff817fac144225.pdf http://www.bills-bunker.de/media//DIR_111001/4203297340c99131ffff8182ac144225.pdf http://www.bills-bunker.de/media//DIR_111001/73b582c24582aac1ffff8382ac144225.pdf
Interesting finds, some funny illustrations too. Note how the Swastika's on the officers uniform were blacked out? But what do the nude women on every other page represent? Edit: Just to confirm, these manuals are allowed to be public right, meaning declassified for public use?
Thanks for the Salute It's Appreciated Since I know we have German collectors I Figured it would interest a few, especially there in German.
Spaniard; Great find! And a hint as to why German tank crews tended to be more proficient than their opposite numbers. I am guessing the naked women and cartoons about partying helped with the memorization process? The comic charactor Bolsheviks are rather funny, even if it's a grim reflection of how NAZI propaganda dehumanized their enemies. Totally aimed at the adolescent mentality and no doubt effective-the cartoon of the panzermen in heaven rereading the manual must have made the point. JeffinMNUSA
