Thumbnail image: Tiger "800" on a train

Description

This is the Befehlstiger "800" belonging to the 8th company of the "Das Reich" division. Since it is whitewashed, the date must be somewhere from January to March 1943 inclusive. The tank is on a rail car, and it shows signs of wear and tear (the right hand side skirt is completely bent upwards) therefore this is not its initial journey from Germany.

This tank was accidentally flooded and had to be sent away for repair. Since the operations of the 8th company did not involve any long trips during this period, it is very likely that we are seeing Tiger "800" on its way to the repair shop.
