Description
Germany’s Tiger 1 heavy tank was developed by the German armored forces in the months following the invasion on the Soviet Union, encountering the stubborn resistance of Soviet tanks such as the T-34 and KV-1. The German Tiger I was the first tank to be fitted with a 88mm gun. The gun’s anti-aircraft version demonstrated excellent anti-armor capabilities. During World War II, the Tiger I appeared in almost all front-line battles in Germany. The German Tiger I heavy tank had a strong psychological deterrent effect to many opponents. Its very complicated design, requiring a lot of expensive materials and heavy production facilities, combined with the manufacturing time led to around only 1,347 units built between August 1942 and August 1944.
