Description
Tiger "S33" of "Das Reich" is undergoing maintenance. The mudguard is raised, exposing a glacis plate that has a non-standard thin area; this plate was once prepared for the "Vorpanzer" device. The markings on the Tiger are particularly clear in this photo and match an older photo of Tiger "831". We can see that, in renumbering the tank from "831" to "S33", the crew applied some areas of dark paint over the old digits. But the central "3" seems to be reused.
