Re: Some reviews

Found out something the other day about the Jagdtiger with tactical number X8 (DRR60110). Apparently it was one of three vehicles (X1, X2, X8) that surrendered to the American forces in Iserlohn in April 1945. The company (or what was left of it) was under the command of Albert Ernst, a Hornisse/Nashorn ace. Just a little piece of info to fill in some blanks since Dragon provides barely any info and sometimes it's not even correct.

Here's also a pretty cool video of a jagdtiger plus some footage from the surrender I mentioned above. I have personally never seen any actual video of jagdtigers until this one. I was pretty surprised by the mobility of this tank. It really contrasts to what I have read about it in many books and websites.
