The 502nd Heavy Panzer Battalion, was one of Germany's most successful heavy tank battalions during the Second World War, claiming the destruction of 1,400 tanks and 2,000 guns.
Otto Carius was one of the most distinguished, and probably the most well-known Heer Tiger commanders of the war.
He served with the 502nd 2nd Company, from mid-1943 until he was severely wounded in mid-1944.
The 2nd Company, which was equipped with new Tiger tanks, took part in a number of operations on the Eastern Front.
One of the more notable of these was at the village of Malinava, near Doonaburg, Southern Latvia, on 22nd of July 1944.
In his book "Tigers in the Mud" Panzer Ace Otto Carius, explains how he restored the front in southern Latvia with his company of eight Tiger tanks.
