Description
A book of memories Otto Cariuse (*27.05.1922 - †26.01.2015) on the second world war. In 1940 Otto Carius volunteered for the Wehrmacht and at first he was a charger in Pz.Kpfw. 38(t). Later he was transferred to the schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502 and until the end of the war he fought on the heavy tanks Tiger I and self-propelled guns Jagdtiger.
All the evidence suggests that these tanks have grown to love, because after the war they devoted a pharmacy and owned a pharmacy with the name of the "Tiger Apotheke".
