The Panzerkampfwagen VI, or the Tiger, was a German heavy tank from the Second World War. Its characteristic shape is still recognizable all over the world. The vehicle itself has become legendary and is still present not only in historical materials, but also in pop culture. The first examples of the Tiger were delivered to the front near Leningrad and to Tunisia in August / September 1942. The tank designed and manufactured by Henschel was very modern and efficient. Unfortunately, its production consumed enormous resources of valuable raw materials and time this caused production numbers of the Tiger I to be relatively low with 1,347 being built by the end of the war. The Tiger I tanks had a significant impact on the course of hostilities. The infamous and spreading terror of the Tigers destroyed over 10,300 Allied tanks and 11,380 guns with losses of 1,238 Tiger I's by the end of the war.
Today not many Tiger 1's exist with this model being based of the very famous Tiger 131, which currently remains the only Tiger I tank in running condition. The PzKpfw VI Tiger number 131 was seized during World War II by the British and is now Bovington's biggest attraction at the tank museum!
