[About the actual vehicle]
- The German Tiger I tank demonstrated overwhelming power over the Allied and Soviet forces.
- Production began in 1942, and when it was assigned to a heavy tank battalion, it demonstrated its power on the North African Front and the Eastern Front.
- The type produced from 1943 to 1944 was called the mid-term production type, and Zimmerit coating equipment became standard specification from midway through.
- Among the tank crews who operated the Tiger, there were many tank crews who were called aces because they destroyed many enemy tanks.
- One of them, Otto Carius, is said to have destroyed more than 150 enemy tanks during the war, and his name was etched into military history.
- In particular, in the battle against the Soviet army that took place in the village of Malinafa in Latvia on July 22, 1944, Karius and his comrade Albert Kerscher used just two Tiger Is, an IS-2, and a T-34/85. It is known as the battle in which 17 vehicles were destroyed.At this time, the Tiger I that Carius was riding had turret number 217.
