The Tiger I
Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. H/E (Pz. Kpfw. VI, Sd. Kfz. 181)
If any question were to be asked with regard to armoured combat in the Second World War, one vehicle will always take its place in the discussion: the dreaded Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. H/E (Pz. Kpfw. VI, Sd. Kfz. 181), better known as the Tiger (Tiger I). A fearsome weapon in itself, the Tiger's effectiveness was maximised to its full potential when it found itself under the command of such talented individuals as Michael Wittmann and his equally skilful crew. This section contains a brief history of the birth and development of the Tiger tank, and includes full detailed technical specifications. For those that may be interested in finding out more about this magnificent fighting vehicle, there are a number of dedicated sites on the World Wide Web, the best of which can be found in the Related Sites page.
