I’m looking for info on Tiger tanks used in and around Berlin in March-May 1945. Does anybody know of any books that list’s certain Tiger I and II units that fought in and around Berlin? What i’m really after is the last few Tiger I’s that were used.

I’ll go for any Sackpole Military History Series books that lists certain units or any other book like the Last Battle, The Battle of Berlin, etc. I don’t have these so if anybody knows if these are what I’m looking for it would really help me.

Did you try a google search along the lines of: ‘Battle of Berlin’, ‘order of battle’? Might get you off to a good start.

Thanks!! That helps.

I’m still looking for some books that has stories of certain Tigers that were used in and around Berlin in the last couple months. What I’m trying to get is the tank markings, unit numbers, tank numbers etc. I’m going to be building a diorama using a Tiger I or II in the ruins and I need the tank turret numbers.

I’m willing to order several books if I have to. I really want to build this diorama right.
