Thumbnail image: Tiger 131 on Point 174

Description

This is Tiger 131, sitting exactly where its German crew abandoned it. A tow cable protrudes from its deck. The loader's hatch is shattered by a direct hit. The tank's distinctive step and handle serve to identify it, but it also matches a better Tiger 131 photo

The location can be deduced from the horizon. On our right we can see trees near Montarnaud. At our left is Djebel El Aroussia and a distinctive pattern of small hills. We are on "Point 174", a hill called Gueriat el Atach in Tunisia. British battle reports state that the Tiger was hit and abandoned exactly here.

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