Free (Kindle) Michael Wittmann and the Waffen SS Tiger Commanders... [Military Bio]

ATDrake · 02-26-2012, 10:43 AM

Michael Wittmann and the Waffen SS Tiger Commanders of the Leibstandarte in WWII, Vol. 1 by Patrick Agte is a biography of exactly whom it says in the title, free courtesy of publisher Stackpole's Military History series.

Free @ Amazon (not available to Canadians) and unlikely to show up elsewhere, as previous Stackpole freebies have been Amazon-only.

Description
The story of one of the most successful and decorated tank commanders of all time

Contains maps, official documents, newspaper clippings, and orders of battle

German Panzer ace Michael Wittmann was by far the most famous tank commander on any side in World War II, destroying 138 enemy tanks and 132 anti-tank guns with his Tiger. This classic of armored warfare is both combat biography and unit history, as Patrick Agte focuses on the life and career of Wittmann but also includes his fellow Tiger commanders in the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. Volume One covers the Eastern Front, where Wittmann racked up more than 100 kills and participated in the Battle of Kursk in 1943.
