British Band Of Brothers: Tiger, Tiger! (Part 4)
WWII historian, author of Normandy '44, Sicily '43 and The Savage Storm
Essential · Edition 2026-06-12
Part 4 of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry series gets into the grim reality of British armour facing Panthers and Tigers in the Normandy bocage after D-Day. Holland draws on unit diaries and personal accounts to show how British tank crews adapted their tactics against superior German armour, and the daily attrition that ground down even elite formations. The operational detail on defensive actions and combined-arms responses is exactly what this series does well.
