Updated Mar, 2022

From my two collections.

The first:

D 656/27 Tigerfibel, original manual and supplements.
I'm enjoying the translation to English and Japanese by Dec 2014.

Tigerfibel manual (center) has several supplements.

Five profiles of German's enemy tank. 

T-34, KV-1, Lee, Sherman and Churchill

All supplements can be inserted in the pocket of the back cover.

This Tigerfibel is one of them which were donated by the tank crew veterans association of the 503 Heavy Panzer Battalion (Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503) in 1960s - 1970s to the Bundeswehr library.

The second:

The second Tigerfibel was stored in the Panzer-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Abteilung 35, 4 Komp in 1943-1944.

Tigerfibel suits the size for the inside pocket of German tank crew uniform in WWII. 

Greatly appreciate the cooperation of the original tank crew uniform by Jäger Militaria.
