I have the original version in German and can recommend it. Very informative reading.
Towards the end of WW2, 507 with King Tigers fought in very close proximity to where I now live in Germany.

Searching on that ISBN number comes up with "Tiger Battalion 507: Eyewitness Accounts from Hitler's Regiment"

Incorrect translation and gross distortion.

The original title is "Errinnerungen an das Panzerregiment 4 und die Tigerabteilung 507"

Better translation would be "Personal rememberances of....."

Panzerregiment 4 which later beame 507 Heavy Tank Battalion was regular Wehrmacht German army and not SS.

The author served in both 4 & 507 during the second world war.
