The Panzerkampfwagen VI, or Tiger, was a German heavy tank from World War II. Its characteristic shape is still recognizable all over the world. The vehicle itself became a legend and is still present not only in historical materials, but also in pop culture. The first Tigers reached the front near Leningrad and in Tunisia in August/September 1942. The tank designed and manufactured by Henschel was very modern and effective. Unfortunately, its production consumed huge resources of valuable raw materials and time. The Tiger I tanks and the few Tiger IIs had a significant impact on the course of war operations. The infamous and incredibly fearsome Tigers destroyed over 10,300 Allied tanks and 11,380 guns, with only 1,725 of their own losses.
