Outnumbered, outgunned and beleaguered on all sides, the German tank forces of the Second World War fought valiantly to the very last. Always too few in numbers, even the superior technology of the Tiger and Panther tanks proved insufficient to defeat the hordes of Shermans and T-34Os, which swamped the Panzer Corps by 1945. Featuring rare archive footage, stunning 3-D computer graphics and rare film of the last surviving Tigers, this is a privileged glimpse into the world of Hitler's tank armies.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Tiger German Heavy Tank
Quite a bit of detailed information here. I recommend purchase if you wish to find out more about one of most advanced weapons of this period. CGIs could have been better.

Should be named "Panzer! German Tanks in WWII"
If you are looking for strictly Tiger material and footage, this video isn't for you. The DVD covers the popular tank range that the Germans produced in WWII. There is of course footage of Tiger's in action but not as much as I would have expected. Other tanks are included such as the Panzer I, II, III, IV, Panther, Tiger I, II, and Maus. The title is after all "Tiger! German Heavy Tanks". Perhaps the video should be called "Panzer! German Tanks in WWII". The computer animation is not very good but does help to show tank tactics. The Bovington Tiger is shown during it's restoration with some really nice interior shots. A few other tanks at Bovington are also shown. It would have nice to show some of the other surviving Tigers that are in France and Russia.

The most annoying thing about this video is the commentator. His voice many times starts at an acceptable sound level and trails off to a whisper. A number of times I had to back up and turn up the volume.
