"Otto Carius was a German tanker ace of WW2, fighting on the Panzer 38t, Tiger and finally the Jagdtiger. It is estimated that during the war, Carius’ crew managed to knock out 150 enemy vehicles and many more soft targets and AT guns. He survived the fighting and after the war, he opened a pharmacy called Tiger-Apotheke, that exists to this day. He is best known for writing a book of his memories about fighting on the Tiger, called “Tigers in the mud”."

Rest in peace, kinda sad to see all the veterans passing away

Rest in peace. I'm happy that i ordered his new edition of "Tiger in the mud" at the last year - with his signatures. On the other side i'm sad because one of the last veterans has past away. The ww2 become more and more "history".
