Thumbnail image: Tiger 833 Hunt's Gap

Description

This beautifully clear photograph of Tiger 833 shows details inside the turret, hull and engine compartment. The wrecking explosion tore the turret off its bearing ring, which is still bolted to the hull roof. The radio rack is lying on the roof, suggesting that the radios were salvaged before the explosion, which suggests in turn that the Germans deliberately wrecked this tank. Other Tigers in this area were destroyed by British sappers, during the battle, before they could be recovered.

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