Stars & Stripes WWII Articles
Stars & Stripes has put online a number of photos, stories and pages from
their WWII editions. One of the most interesting articles is "German tanks
met their master" which describes comabt by the Ninth Army and includes the
following American comments on the German Tiger II:
Finally, the premier performance of the new super-tank—the
Germans' highly-touted Tiger Royal—turned out to be no more potent than
the ordinary Tiger. Except for the longer and more frightening barrel on
the 88, it is the same, most of the men claim... "We call the Tiger Royal
the 'King Size' Tiger," one American said. "That barrel sticks out there
like a little fat man smoking a Pall Mall."
