I had trouble with this mission too. Very hard. Took me a couple of tries to beat it.
At the start of the game I made sure to destroy the mortars. They are annoying as hell and will kill all of your infantery if you don't destroy them.
I retreated to the second line just before they come with the heavier tanks. About that time my tiger ran out of ammunition.
There is a destroyed tiger somewhere and it's inventory has ammunition for your tiger! Use a vehicle to transfer the ammunition to your tiger. That definately helped me, because the tiger is almost indestructable. I repositioned my tiger to the 2nd line on top of the hill.
I aimed for the enemy tank turrets because there is a bigger chance I could capture them. I had about 4 or 5 captured tanks in the end. The guns on them are not that great but the armour is ok and they make a good distraction. Also, their mg's help kill infantery.
The flak cannon on the left was of great help. Accurate and could take out most tanks with 1 shot. If you destroy a part of the wall with an at grenade or HE round you can cover the entrance to the pit with the fuel tanks with that flak.
Make sure you call in reinforcements before you need them, because it takes a while for them to arrive.
The house with the radio operator on the southern (?) part of the map has boxes with ammunition, sandbags, mines and other stuff.
My strategy was to save every time my tank destroyed on of theirs and survived. Going to slow-motion mode helped also . If my tank got destroyed then I'd reload.
At some point in time a side mission is triggered where you have to destroy the rocket emplacements. For some reason all my captured tanks were repositioned to the right side of the map after I had finished that mission.
Hope this helps new players.
