Description
Tiger 243 is newly arrived in Tunisia and is travelling to Tunis from Bizerte. Jerrycans of fuel are stored on the turret roof. It's not clear why the Tunisian rail network is not being used to move the Tigers. A press photographer accompanies this convoy; eight kilometers later he will take an iconic photo of Tiger 243.
