Ferdinand and Elefant Tank Destroyer Author: Thomas Anderson

ISBN: 9781472807212 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 256 Published: 1 May 2015 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 24.2 x 19.0 x 2.8 Description: This is the story of the largest and statistically most successful tank destroyer of World War II.

The Ferdinand was a true behemoth, and although only 91 examples were built, they took a savage toll of Soviet armour in the Battle of Kursk and subsequent operations on the Eastern Front. This study explores the technical development and combat deployment of this remarkable vehicle, from its' origins in the Porsche Tiger Tank through its deployment under the designation 'Ferdinand' in the Citadel offensive, to its modification and redesignation as the 'Elefant' and final use in the desperate Battle of Berlin.

Drawing on original archival material from within Germany, private collections and heretofore unpublished photographs this title is an essential illustrated history to one of the most famous armoured vehicles ever built.
