Thumbnail image: Von Manstein and Tiger 812

Description

In April 1943, Field Marshal Von Manstein visited the "Das Reich" division. Here, one of their Tigers is being inspected. Although this Tiger is marked with the name "Tiki", no tactical numbers have been applied to it since it was painted in camouflage colours and its old numbers were obscured. We know that it is Tiger "812" because its paint patterns match later photos.

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