Hi Jeff, Read
Germany's Tiger Tanks Vol I - D.W. to Tiger I? . Its is the best book on the tiger 1 I found
It is not the pace of life that worrys me, its the sudden stop at the end.

Those are great pics, got them from Alb (Deitrich). I'm in the process of doing the same for my Mid-Prod.

It was only fitted November 1943 to February 1944.
