Bonzer Cross Tiger Manuals

Lady Tigers Basketball continue winning ways with win in semi-final of Raymond James Hall of Fame Classic. Northwestern had a tremendous first half from Katie Neher who poured in 17 points to go along with 12 points from Madison Layden and the Tigers did not look back in defeating 4A #6 ranked Bedford North Lawerence.

The Tigerfibel and Pantherfibel were crew instruction manuals for the German tanks of World War II, the Panzer VI Tigerheavy tank and the Panzer V Panther medium tank.

Like other manuals designated as Fibel (basic primer), they were apparently intended to summarise what the crew needed to know for day-to-day use of the tank, and to capture their interest. It is well illustrated in comic-style and much of the text is written as poetry in a humorous manner. The Fibel is remarkably different from the typical tedious style of a German tank manual of that period.

The manuals were approved by Heinz Guderian, the Inspector-General of Panzer troops. In the case of the Panther manual, he issued his approval in the manual\'s rhyming style, ending with the words, Die Pantherfibel ist genehmigt; wer sie nicht kennt, der wird erledigt (roughly \'The Panther primer is approved; who knows it not will be removed.\' )
