U.S. Army officer and military historian Gregory Walden provides the most detailed look at the actions of a single German battalion in the Battle of the Bulge to date. Tigers in the Ardennes<\/em> is the product of years of research in archives, conversations with German and American veterans, and detailed examination of terrain in the Ardennes battlefields. The author\u2019s experience as a tank unit commander provides unique insight into the tactical difficulties of armor movements through the Ardennes, especially considering the technical aspects of the Tiger II tanks. The book includes over 100 images, including photographs of the Tiger II tanks never before published, plus detailed maps showing the routes used by the 501st Heavy SS Tank Battalion during the battle.<\/p>\nTigers in the Ardennes<\/em> shows the human side of tank warfare, focusing on one German unit \u2013 how the men and their unit prepared for the battle, what they experienced (often in their own words, from interviews with veterans), how they used their powerful tanks, and the shortcomings of those tanks which eventually kept them from accomplishing their objective. The author, Gregory Walden, is a retired U.S. Army officer, with 20 years\u2019 experience in tanks and armored units. As a tank commander and armor unit leader, the author\u2019s perspective lends a better understanding of how the men felt as they pushed forward in the offensive, how they used their tanks to tactical advantage, and the reasons why their equipment ultimately failed them.
