Michael Wittmann and the Waffen SS Tiger Commanders of the Leibstandarte in WWII Volume Two The second volume of Michael Wittmann and the Waffen SS Tiger Commanders of the Leibstandarte in WWII delves deeper into the history of the elite tank commanders of the Leibstandarte, exploring their experiences during the final years of World War II. The book examines how these skilled soldiers adapted to the evolving technology of tanks and developed new tactics to stay ahead of the enemy. It also looks at the impact of these advancements on the outcome of the war and how they influenced the future of armored warfare. The book begins by discussing the development of the Tiger I and Tiger II tanks, which were the most powerful and advanced tanks of their time. These vehicles were heavily armored and well-armed, making them nearly invulnerable to Allied bombing and strafing attacks. However, their size and weight made them difficult to maneuver, and their crews had to be highly trained to operate them effectively. As the war progressed, the Germans continued to develop and improve their tank technology, introducing new models such as the Panther and King Tiger. These tanks were faster and more agile than their predecessors, but they still required a high level of skill to operate effectively. The book explores how the Waffen SS Tiger Commanders adapted to these new technologies and how they used them to great effect on the battlefield.
