TIGER - World War II German Army Heavy Tank, full designation “Sonderkraftfahrzeug 181 Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung E ‘. Active in Africa and Europe from 1942, Tiger was the first tank-mounted application of high-velocity 88mm gun, Kampfwagenkanone ‘8.8cm KwK 36 ‘.
Over 1,340 built from 1942 until 1944, when Tiger II was introduced and title ‘Tiger I ‘ was applied to Tiger tank retrospectively. Although expensive to manufacture and heavy on fuel consumption, Tiger I had a fearsome reputation with the power to kill an enemy tank more than one mile away.
Features of Mid Production Tiger I were new turret with smaller commander's cupola and rubber-rimmed road wheels.
Late Production Tiger I had steel road wheels.
Tiger 131 at the Tank Museum in UK is the only surviving Tiger I in running order.
