Thumbnail image: Troops march past Tiger "S21"

Description

In the summer of 1943, German troops march past a parked Tiger, number "S21" of "Das Reich". The patterns of paint on the tank match other photos of Tiger S21 but it's not easy to see which of the whitewashed Tigers from February is this one. We can prove that this Tiger was in the old 4th platoon because we know the S-number of every other Tiger from the original batch. So there are only two candidate Tigers. Since Tiger "842" had a flat mantlet, and this Tiger has the standard mantlet, it must be the former Tiger "841".

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