Thumbnail image: Tiger 821, right side

Description

This is Tiger 821 of "Das Reich". It is covered in whitewash, with its underlying "tropical" paint scheme showing through at the rear. This must be in the first months of 1943 because these Tigers were repainted in April at the latest. We can see something puzzling; an unknown device is apparently attached to the cupola hatch. We can see it in another photo of Tiger "821" but we don't know what it is.

The similarity of these bent side skirts to another photo reveals that this Tiger will be numbered "S11" in the summer of 1943.

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