Information about a Tiger chassis

Description

This Tiger was originally numbered "213". Its right-hand smoke launchers became lost, possibly in the Ksar Mezouar battle. It had to be towed away from that disaster. By that time the tank was renumbered "813" and it must have been given a third "7xx" number afterwards, which we don't know. The Tiger had 14 kill rings painted on its gun when the Allies found its wreckage.
