The D 656/27 is one of the 25 Tiger Tank
Instruction Manuals, which are very technical and require time
to read and fully understand. In 1943, the “Tiger Fibel” (Tiger’s “ABC”), was created as a Service-Manual D 656/27 and approved by the Chief of Staff of the German Armoured Forces, General Heinz Guderian. It was the first and without a doubt, the best attempted work which offered tank crews a comprehensible service-handbook, where pictures speak more than words and where content is clearly understood, without straining the brain. It was written for Tiger crews, in simple down to earth German, as an overall technical combat-instruction pocketbook, filled with tactical information on Tiger Tank and filled with amusing cartoons, jokes and morale boosting catch phrases. In short, D 656/27 is a concise description of otherwise detailed information, found in the pertinent manuals listed below. It must be stressed that the D656/22 is one of the most important manuals for Tiger Tank Turret information. The D 656/24 is for Tiger tank E fanatics only. The D 656/30 b and c, is for people who need to know maintenance and repairs of Tiger Tank 181. The D 565/24 covers the routine greasing of all Tiger Tank 181 parts. Last but not least is the D 9023/1 which deals with the radio equipment for the Tiger tank 181and Command tank. The D 9023/1 gives a full and complete information on the systems used. It is a must for those who need to know everything including the GG400 generator in the turret. The D 656/1 is an excellent informative 60 page manual on the "Elephant". It describes the do and don't , also has some good informative drawings. |
