The Tiger I

The Tiger was the best known of all the German tanks during World War II and the most feared by the Allies.
The tank armour was almost impervious to the guns of the Allies tanks and its 88mm high velocity gun could destroy any Allies tank on the battlefield with relative ease.
Lucky for the Allies the Tiger was not produced in great numbers only around 1300 was buildt,
The Tiger developed its fearsome reputation in North Africa, where just the rumoured presese of the tank could halt Allied attacks - this became known as Tiger fear.
At Kursk they were the tip of the German armoured spear and achieved 11 to 1 kill ratio.
