World War II Began with a Metallic Roar as the German blitzkrieg raced across Europe, spearheaded by one of the most dreaded weapons of the twentieth century-the panzer-and driven on by the Third Reich's ideology of domination and hate. Destroying more than 150 enemy tanks, Otto Carius was one of the most successful commanders ever to take a Tiger tank into battle, and his vivid memoir is the story of both endurance under extreme combat conditions and courage in the service of a historically bad cause. His account is as close as the modern reader can get to manning the turret of a German tank in World War II. Book jacket.

Questo libro, atteso da tempo dai lettori italiani, presenta le memorie del comandante di Tiger Otto Carius, decorato della Croce di Cavaliere con Fronde di Quercia, e uno dei maggiori assi della Panzertruppe con più di 150 carri armati nemici distrutti. Queste avvincenti memorie narrano “dalla cupola del capocarro” le vicende di Carius, da semplice porgitore in un leggero Panzerkampfwagen 38 (t) nella fulminea avanzata della Wehrmacht in Russia nell’estate del 1941 a comandante di una Compagnia dei possenti Tiger, impegnati a contrastare gli attacchi di massa dei corazzati e della fanteria sovietica nelle battaglie difensive tra Leningrado e i Paesi Baltici del 1943-1944, sino al suo drammatico ultimo ferimento in azione, alla degenza in Germania e quindi alle ultime azioni sui giganteschi cacciacarri Jagdtiger nella sacca della Ruhr nel 1945. Il testo è accompagnato dalle fotografie scattate dall’autore durante la sua intera carriera militare, dall’addestramento prebellico all’operazione Barbarossa, al passaggio ai Tiger con lo schwere Panzer Abteilung 502; sono inoltre riprodotti i diplomi di conferimento delle sue alte decorazioni e diversi rapporti tecnici sui Tiger e sulle azioni del Battaglione.
