One of the best first hand WW airborne accounts I’ve listened to. I couldn’t get past the strange inflection of the narrator

World War II began with a metallic roar as the German Blitzkrieg raced across Europe, spearheaded by the most dreaded weapon of the 20th century: the Panzer. No German tank better represents that thundering power than the infamous Tiger, and Otto Carius was one of the most successful commanders to ever take a Tiger into battle, destroying well over 150 enemy tanks during his incredible career.

A troubled, yet worthwhile read...

More of an outline from intelligent, brave Panzer commander with wounded ego
Revisado: 01-03-21
Lacks depth, picture of battle provided in other Panzer commander authors’ books. Overall accounts of battle are sparse and feel more like an official action report... He trails off from an objective historical account at the end to a boring, clearly bitter & resentful account of German civilians being killed and displaced by Allied bombing and then his subsequent treatment in allied POW camp. Strange to read from otherwise thoughtful, intelligent account of war. Author seemingly oblivious to the glaring ironies in what he faults Allies with. Goes on to describe his perception of American cowardice in close battle near end of war as Allies approached Berlin. Again, strange opinion on American tactics in central Germany. Again seemingly oblivious to fact Allies had just conquered half of Europe and didn’t want to die capturing wounded and convalescent replacement troops, like the author.
