Whether commander, driver, shooter or radio operator - up close the reader experiences the combat missions from the perspective of the individual soldier. In addition to the relevant battle descriptions, however, the serene moments of the soldier's life as well as the experiences of camaraderie and captivity are not forgotten. Last but not least, the largely unpublished footage makes the chronicle of the 507 heavy tank department an authentic and unique piece of military history.
