Reddit reviews Tiger Tracks - The Classic Panzer Memoir

You should check out both Tiger Tracks and The Last Panther by Wolfgang Faust. Memoirs of his experiences as part of a Tiger and Panther crew on the Eastern Front and last days of the war in Germany. They aren't that long so you will probably breeze through them but they are very engaging.

>The general gist of this statement pretty much agrees that an immobile Abrams took some hostile fire and survived.

Which is the only thing that is true, the rest is made up flavour details straight from Tom Clancy's imagination. It reads a lot like that bogus Tiger Tank memoir.

>I've encountered it myself, reading about (non-military) events that I took part in. To expect anything else, or be surprised or outraged is naive.

I guess you have never encountered competently written history and have only ever read yellow journalism. Hence you have no familiarity with the means by which historical accuracy is pursued. Why else would someone seriously quote Tom Clancy for anything but his novels.

This book (if accurate) paints the nightmare scene of panzers in the East.
