The Panzerkampfwagen VI, or Tiger, was a German heavy tank from World War II. Its distinctive silhouette remains recognizable worldwide to this day. The vehicle itself has become legendary, maintaining a constant presence not only in historical records but also in pop culture. The first Tiger units reached the front lines near Leningrad and in Tunisia during August and September of 1942. Designed and manufactured by Henschel, the tank was highly advanced and effective. Unfortunately, its production consumed vast amounts of valuable raw materials and time. Tiger I tanks--and the few Tiger IIs--significantly influenced the course of the war. Infamous and terrifying, Tigers destroyed over 10,300 Allied tanks and 11,380 artillery pieces, while suffering losses of 1,725 units.
