misschien dat de Jagdtiger toch mee kan doen.
namelijk het volgende opgespoord.
The Battle of the Bulge began with the German attack (Operation Wacht am Rhein and the Herbstnebel plan) on the morning of December 16, 1944. Two later attacks on New Year's Day 1945 attempted to create second fronts in Holland (Operation Schneeman) and in northern France (
Operation Nordwind).
en dan een stuk over dit geschut:
Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf.B "Jagdtiger"
info machine:
From Fgst.305011, Zimmerit was no longer applied. The Fgst.305002 was not covered with Zimmerit, and thus, no Henschel Jagdtiger recieved Zimmerit. By the end of November, the 20 tons jack mounted on the rear plate was no longer used, and 6 (in stead of 4) track link hangers were mounted on each side of the superstructure.
From 1945-02, 4 Pilzen crane mounts were mounted on the top sides of the superstructure. Some of the Jagdtigers mounted a M.G.42 on the engine deck to use agains aircrafts. These have probably not been used for their true purpose, as only a suicidal maniac would stand on an open area, fireing at Typhoons and Mosquitos with a machine gun! At least the following Fgst.-numbers received the M.G.42 mount:
•305020
•305058
•305083
Operational history
s.Pz.Jäg.Abt.653
In October, the unit moved out. s.Pz.Jäg.Abt.653 was assigned to the 17.Armee in Poland, during which time the third company also recieved some Jagdtigers. Production was slow, and in November, the unit had only 12 Jagdtigers. 6 more Jagdtigers recieved during November.
In December, it was planned that the Jagdtigers should have taken part of the Ardennes offensive. 16 Jagdtigers are loaded onto trains, and two of the three trains unloaded 50 km. behind the front (as part of the 6.SS-Armee).
Some Jagdtigers are diverted to Operation Nordwind, as part of the 17.SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division. Despite accounts that the Jagdtigers were used during the Ardennes offensive, there are no prrof which supports it.
In 1945-01, the Jagdtigers were to take part of
Operation Nordwind, but the s.Pz.Jäg.Abt.653 was still on the train waggons as the offensive started. Still together with the 17.SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division, s.Pz.Jäg.Abt.653 attacked the Maginot line. By 1945-01-09 the first Jagdtiger is destroyed by a bazooka. The use of Jagdtigers is limited, and reports about the high number of breakdowns are sent to Hitler.
dus de jagdtiger heeft meegedaan. wel is waar niet erg indrukwekkend maar toch......
ik hoop dat dit enigzins duidelijk is.
