Description

Richard Freiherr von Rosen was a highly decorated Wehrmacht soldier and outstanding panzer commander. After serving as a gunlayer on a Pz.Mk.III during Barbarossa, he led a company of Tigers at Kursk. Later he led a company of King Tiger panzers at Normandy and in late 1944 commanded a battle group (12 King Tigers and a flak company) against the Russians in Hungary in the rank of junior, later senior lieutenant (from November 1944, his final rank). Only 489 of these King Tiger tanks were ever built. They were the most powerful heavy tanks to see service, and only one kind of shell could penetrate their armor at a reasonable distance. Every effort had to be made to retrieve any of them bogged down or otherwise immobilized, which led to many towing adventures.

The author has a fine memory and eye for detail. His account is easy to listen to and not technical, and adds substantially to the knowledge of how the German Panzer Arm operated in the Second World War.

Good but not Great

The authors story is very interesting but I feel he keeps his emotions too much in check. Possibly for self preservation so this is an observation not a criticism. He was a very brave and from what he says an honorable man and soldier.
Some more detail.on the actual tank combat would have been good. overall a good book for the amateur military historian and worth listening too.

Really enjoyed it, highly reccomend

I’ve been reading a lot of books from the German perspective of WWII and this is one of my favourites. His perspective was honest and his story was gripping. I was also surprised to learn he’s in some famous footage of Tiger tanks and now when I see him in documentaries I feel like he’s an old friend. I would highly recommend it.
