From what I have read that was the exact purpose of the JagdTiger, a gigantic mobile pillbox. They would just drive them out into an open area and engage allied tanks at the maximum distance of the main gun. It is kind of funny when you think about it but with a 128mm gun the thing would...

Man it has been a while since I've gotten on the forums, but I have to say this tank is purely beautiful! I was looking up about the JagdTiger when I came across this footage I thought you guys might enjoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHp3nCkPjb4

2nd Ranger Battalion at Pointe Du Hoc and the 5th Ranger Battalion along with the 29th Infantry Division at Dog Green Sector Omaha Beach. :)

I'm all in for a new tiger.

DD28....period.

wwiibuff, You once again achieved glory in your diorama! This is my favorite one you've done yet, It makes me want to watch Saving Private Ryan again.:D Will you add the other three JG Omaha beach pieces that are avialable?

Hello Historyfortheages! Great idea! To answer your question, this is what I know about the subject, Company C 2nd Ranger battalion used their bare hands and bayonets to advance up the bluffs with some help from toggle ropes. At Pointe Du Hoc Companies D, E and F of the 2nd Ranger Battalion...

wwiibuff, you are great at putting certain pieces together to make a wonderful scene like this! The diorama looks real!:) Good job and keep them coming.;)You have a talent.

Hopefully Andy will do a "village" based series on Arnhem, because he's been making loads of diorama pieces lately.

The Germans believe it or not made a curved barrel for the STG 44 to give to ground troops on the Eastern Front to protect tanks like the Wespe with no armor in the back. The troops would sit there in the back of the tank and when the russians started to swarm the tank they would curve the...

Indeed.:D

Rob, Keep Calm and Carry On!:p:D

Exactly!

OzDigger-I read about that on the SPROE. ( Saving Private Ryan Online Encyclopedia) It would work though If the commander was dumb enough to open the top hatch to get some fresh air while his tank is being swarmed by infantry! Rob and Terry - Thank you for your complements!

That's awesome, good way too start off the RAF series!:D How did you aquire it?:confused::)

I don't know if this ever happened or not in Arnhem, (There were a ton of tanks.) but in Saving Private Ryan when all the paratroopers crawled up onto the tiger, shot the commander and lobbed a coouple of grenades in there, disabling the tank. It would be a great piece for a tank to have a bunch...
