Book excerpt: The siege of Posen hardly figures in English language histories of WWII: however an active veterans association has kept its memory alive in Germany through the publication of memoirs and research monographs. This is the account of Eastern Front veteran Richard Siegert the gunner and later commander of the defenders' sole Tiger tank. Since the death of the driver in a futile attempt to escape from a PoW camp in Russia just after the end of the war, Siegert is the only survivor of that crew able to pass its record on to posterity.
