Things to address[edit]

What happened to the 2nd Company? Needs more information about how Tigers were lost; you can't just simply say 15 were lost on one day and then specify that others were lost to mechanical breakdowns, etc. I edited a lot to make it read better, but it still needs a good copy edit as you used a lot of present tense. Schneider's a great source, but what about that book that Fedorowicz also published on the unit? And what about Jentz's books on the operational history of the Tiger? Oh, and what was the 504th?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. I'm partly limited by the lack of detail available in the sources I have. I may get the Fedorowicz book to flesh it out. The 504th - redlinks to the 504th heavy tank battalion article - as yet unwritten. I do realise that I need to copyedit it for style and grammar, and try and make it less of a list of dates, and more of a cohesive narrative that fits into the surrounding events.
