I have a fascination with the Heavy Tank Battalion 502, herein called sPz.Abt. 502. I went through the section on it in Wolfgang Schneider's "Tigers In Combat", and have a great desire to learn more. However, I have a feeling I've reached the limits of research on it just reading books. I want to go back to where the authors got all of this information, in other words, right to the source!
I want to get a hold of all available primary source material about sPz.Abt. 502. AAR's, combat diaries, even contemporary newspaper articles. I have a copy of "Tigers in the Mud", which has a few of all the above in it as appendices. This leads me to believe there must be more somewhere. After all, it would be a bit of an odd coincidence if the only surviving primary source material is what is pertinent to Otto Carius.
Here is the problem. I don't know where to look, how to get a hold of the material, or even how much material about it still survives. Still, Schneider's book is packed with info. That had to come from somewhere. So I am bringing this up in the forums here (it's my first thread, BTW), in the hopes I might get some leads. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
