Thumbnail image: Tiger 823 is demonstrated

Description

The head of the SS stands on the engine deck of Tiger "823" during his visit to the "Das Reich" division's Tiger company, in April 1943. On the turret bin we can see the tank's old number "832" dating from the previous winter, overpainted by the new "823". The Tiger seems to have lost its original exhaust mufflers and shields, plus its toolbox tray. It now carries a set of the older mufflers with no top covers. However there is no doubt that this is the original hull matching this turret; compare these side skirts to a photo of Tiger "832" in winter.

The photo research was largely the work of the old TIIF.DE team.
