{"product_id":"9782352500308","title":"Tiger I on the Eastern Front","description":"The Tiger tank endures today as the greatest legend of the German armored forces of World War II. Weighing in at 55 tons, the armored behemoth marked a new chapter in the history of armored warfare. Whereas previous German tanks, the Marks I through V, had taken a regular place in panzer units, the new Tiger (theoretically a Mark VI) was allocated to specially created battalions, intended to achieve a battlefield breakthrough. The Tiger's greatest moments were on the Eastern Front, where for most of the war only the Soviet up-gunned KV series had any chance in a tank-to-tank encounter.\u003cp\u003eJean Restayn's text is backed up by 250 photographs, most of them never published before, and 50 color plates showing markings, insignia and camouflage schemes. Also included is a complete operational history and order of battle for all units, both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS, who were equipped with the Tiger.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Histoire \u0026 Collections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063818174704,"sku":"9782352500308","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782352500308_p0.jpg?v=1763691291","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782352500308","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
