Description
These are pictures of an actual working Panzer VI Tiger I Tank, shot in France.
The Tiger was a German heavy tank developed in 1942 and used in World War II. The official name was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E. It was renamed Tiger I when the bigger Tiger II began production.
This tank was an answer to the unexpectedly impressive armor encountered in the Soviet T-34 tank. During the course of the war, the Tiger I saw combat on all battlefronts. It was usually deployed in independent tank battalions, which proved to be formidable.
