Description
This is Tiger "831" of Das Reich about April 1943. Binoculars hang on the cupola hatch. It has the cutouts in the turret bin that are found only on the original Tigers issued to "Das Reich". The electrical connectors on the S-mine launcher are clearly visible in this light. The tank doesn't appear to have a Balkankreuz, but in a later photo of Tiger "831" there will be one.
The subtle distortions of the side skirts confirm that this is the same hull that was once Tiger "811".
