Tigerfibel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tigerfibel and Pantherfibel were crew instruction manuals for the German tanks of of World War II, the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger heavy tank and the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther medium tank.

Like other manuals designated as Fibel, they were apparently intended to summarise what the crew needed to know for day-to-day use of the tank, and capture their interest. It is well-illustrated and much of it is written as poetry in a humorous manner. It is remarkably different from the usual style of a German tank manual of the period, describing its machinery and operations in tedious detail.

The manuals were approved by Heinz Guderian, the Inspector-General of Panzer troops.
