Although many who are familiar with the ferocious fighting on the Eastern Front in World War 2 have heard of the three "Operations Strachwitz" through references and popular accounts, the most popular of which are the memoirs of Tiger ace Otto Carius in his best-selling book,Tigers in the Mud. Few have ever seen much in-depth coverage of the fighting or images of the battle area. All that has changed with Panzerkampfgruppe Strachwitz which not only presents the reader with an overview of the small-unit actions that constituted the fighting associated with these three operations.The images feature the three most famous armoured formations that participated: schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502 (Otto Carius' Tiger battalion), the Fuhrer-Begleit-Bataillon (Hitler's headquarters bodyguard consisting of soldiers from Gro?deutschland and other named formations) and Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Feldherrnhalle"
