Zwieroboj - Animal Hunters - Ponyri Station, Kursk, 7th July 1943 by David Pentland. Major Sankovsky, commander of the new SU-152 battery of 1442nd SP Art Regiment, assigned to the 13th Army was in support of the 307th Rifle Division around Ponyri Station when the XXXXI Panzer Corp attacked with 200 panzers. Leading the way were Tiger Is of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505, and the Borgward BIV remote control mine clearance tanks. On this day it is believed the major himself knocked out 10 enemy tanks, and in the ensuing three weeks of combat at Kursk the battery accounted for some 12 Tigers and 7 Ferdidnands. It was this units results which the SU152 the nickname of Zwieroboj - Animal Hunter. |
Tiger I by Jason Askew. (P) The Tiger tank was one of the most fearsome tanks in the German WW2 armoury. With firepower that could destroy most enemies at long range and armour that could withstand all but the closest of attacks, the Tiger is rightfully regarded as one of the most effective fighting machines of the war. |

Tiger - Heavy Tank Panzer VI. There can be few people who have never heard of the Tiger Tank - indeed, it has come to be seen as one of the most potent symbols of German military power in the Second World War. First committed to combat on the Eastern front 1942, the Tiger and its more formidable successor - the Tiger II, Kingtiger - had, by the time of the defeat of Nazi Germany, generated an awesome reputation that far belied the very small production run of fewer than the 2000 built. The history of this legendary tank is told with particular emphasis placed on combat footage of the Tiger in action, as well as footage of the Ferdinand/Elefant on the Eastern front and the Sturmtiger in action in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. |
Panzer - Germanys Ultimate War Machine. During WW2, the need for capable and qualified crewmen to work with and maintain the equipment became vital. In order to keep up with the demands of warfare, soldiers and engineers were educated partly with training films. This programme shows footage of the Tiger tanks during Operation Citadel, as well as edited highlights of two German Army training films from late 1943 and mid 1944. Including two major military productions, the first of these films was produced to show how to convert the Panther tank, allowing it to successfully deal with the extensive Soviet defences like those it encountered at its debut in Kursk. The second film from 1944, made for the benefit of personnel serving in Sdkfz 251 Ds and the Panzerjaeger IV, may well be the only footage of this type to survive the war. Finally there are sequences showing such machines as the late Model Brummbaer which round off this fascinating assemblage of unique footage of German armoured fighting vehicles from the latter part of WW2. |

Tiger on the Prowl by Jason Askew. (P) The Tiger tank was one of the most fearsome tanks in the German WW2 armoury. With firepower that could destroy most enemies at long range and armour that could withstand all but the closest of attacks, the Tiger is rightfully regarded as one of the most effective fighting machines of the war. |
Tanks! - Michael Wittmann Tiger Ace Michael Wittmann was the legendary German Tiger Tank commander who saw action in some of the most hotly contested tank battles during World War Two. Credited with over 160 kills, the much decorated Wittmann is justifiably famous for his amazing exploits in the battle of Villers Bocage. This comprehensive portrait of Wittmann depicts the courage and cunning of a master tank commander and features rare archive footage of the battlefields. Also included are superb 3D graphic reconstructions with in-depth analysis by Dr Simon Trew of The Royal Military College Sandhurst, author and historian Daniel Taylor and leading tank expert Professor John Erickson. |
Tanks! - Tigers in the Desert Although they were few in number, the legendary Tiger tank carved a reputation which was out of all proportion to its limited numbers. This fascinating film draws on rare archive footage, stunning new animation and the views of leading armour authorities and tank veterans from World War II to paint an intriguing picture of the deployment and use of armour in the desert war. Tigers in the Desert features a detailed examination of one of the last remaining Tigers in the world and a vivid reconstruction of the crew in action. |
The Panzer - The Story of Adolf Hitlers Infamous Panzer Divisions Battle tanks decided many battles during the Second World War. Some 25,000 were produced in Germany and some 250,000 by the Allies during the conflict. Yet despite overwhelming odds, the German Panzer Divisions became legendary. Just as a cavalryman becomes attached to his horse, the Panzer crews still vividly remember their mechanical mounts, the sounds they produced, the smell of fuel and oil, the effects they had on the enemy and also the fact that the Panzer could become a steel coffin in one blazing moment. |
