Care about your tank. It took a lot working people to build it and it cost 800K reichsmark

Great post !
I've seen a french version of this manual.
Each crew member has a funny name.

That doenst sound like a manual, more than a book for children, perhabs it was used in the Hitlerjugend.

Oh and if you want a certain passage translated, just say it :)

Not its the official manual (for the crew soldiers), and the best military manual I read ever. Not the usual dry humorless manuals written by remfs you never read anyway.

A unique attempt which shows the progressive thinking of Guderian and the willing to go unusual ways, not strictly by the book.


Btw, just type "Tigerfibel" in google and you find many links with the full book. There is a Panther fibel out there too.

Every manual was written like that. That made shure, that everyone was able to understand it.

It's simple and usefull, that's great.

Thank you.

[Conde]

Dry, long manuals are boring. Short, sweet, and funny would usually ensure people actually bothered to read it and digest the info.


Also, especially in conscript armies where everyone gets taken in, you've got to cater for the lowest common denominator, i.e total idiots.

[Mike Keenan]

Didn't the US Army do something for the M16 in Vietnam?

[Hydro]

Yes, they did. Most armies have instructional stuff like this in a cartoon format. The pamphlet "Kit!" from the British Army is a prime example. It ensures that folk will actually read it rather than fob it off as long winded crap.


This Tiger manual is excellent stuff.

[Shinobi]

Drawings are subversive in double meaning. woot

Here's the entire thing:

'Still have WW2 RAF and Luftwaffe gunnery manuals on my Harddisk: they're also in cartoon style.

[TheScruff]

Is there any place I can buy one of these manuals (or a copy) from?

[MG 3]

Nice find and funny translation.
