A Battle-Hardened Warrior
The Tiger I was a constant threat to the Allied forces during WWII, and a
single Tiger I was even said to have taken out five Sherman tanks in
one battle.
The 57-ton hull featured armor that measured 100mm at its thickest, and
the 56-caliber 88mm main gun was capable of piercing 110mm of armor at a
range of 2,000 meters.
It is unsurprising, therefore, that the tank spawned a number of aces
including Lieutenant M. Wittman.
Around 1,300 Tiger Is were built from June 1942 onwards; the late
production version featured additional periscopes on the cupola
and large steel road wheels with built-in rubber rings among numerous
improvements. |
