The Incredible True Mission You've Never Heard Of
In 1941, Winston Churchill issued a secret, direct order: "Catch that tiger." This is the astonishing, untold story of the madcap, high-stakes mission to steal Germany's most fearsome new weapon—a Tiger tank—right from under the Nazis' noses.

For the Reader Who: Loves gripping non-fiction that reads like a thriller • Is fascinated by untold WWII stories and military history • Enjoys missions of audacious ingenuity and bravery • Appreciates authors like Ben Macintyre or Damien Lewis.

⚙️ The Daring Mission:
As the Nazi Panzer divisions stormed across Europe, Allied engineers were desperate to get their hands on the technologically superior Tiger tank. Churchill's order sparked "Operation Tiger," led by an eccentric team of engineers, spies, and commandos. Their task: penetrate enemy lines in North Africa, disable a broken-down Tiger, and tow the 60-ton behemoth over 200 miles of desert to the coast for shipment back to England—all while evading Rommel's Afrika Korps.
