"Chronos of the UK released this documentary on Videotape a number of years ago. This DVD is that same documentary. Because this documentary consists of old Black & White German and newsreel footage the quality is not the best. Therefore you may ask yourself if having a DVD is necessary. Since the footage is of old scratchy film, having a VHS tape is just as good as the DVD. It has not been remastered. The documentary itself is good considering the source material. The British Voiceover is pretty dry but informative. This is one of the best documetaries available with Tiger footage, it is just deceiving to market this as a fresh product. - KH in Southington, CT"
Excellent video in an excellent series.

"I own this video that was originally marketed under another title but the content is the same. I consider it an excellent documentary of the Tiger I and II. Yes, some of the archival footage is a little scratchy, but it is real combat footage and includes rare scenes of Tigers in combat showing their employment in battle. It contains little-covered topics such as recovery of damaged Tigers. I feel it is far preferable to the History Channel stuff with the terrible reenactments using fake Tigers (In one instance, they have a Tiger turret mounted on a T-34 hull!). The amount of authentic archival footage alone is worth the price."
