Thumbnail image: Tiger "832" is renumbered

Description

This Tiger has been renumbered from "832" to "823". That we can see its original number, implies that its old "tropical" finish was not completely overpainted in April 1943, when the Tigers of "Das Reich" were repainted. We believe that its winter whitewash was removed earlier, revealing the old green-brown colours and preserving the old black digits. Therefore it's likely that its current camouflage scheme uses the old "tropical" colours as the base. It's clear that new paint colours have been applied though we are not sure what they are.
