Thumbnail image: Tiger "841" in Kharkiv

Description

During the battles for control of Kharkiv, in early 1943, a whitewashed Tiger of "Das Reich" is parked somewhere in the city.

We can see only the final digit of the turret number, a "1". On that basis it could be any of five Tigers. But its thickened gun mantlet reduces the candidate list to two, and the lack of paint on the end of the side skirt, plus certain other marks, identify this as Tiger 841.
