Description

This Tiger of 8th company "Das Reich" is probably in a front-line tank park or workshop, given the presence of at least two other tanks nearby. It is number "800", their Befehlstiger; we can see the mast antenna mounts on the hull side. This company whitewashed its tanks rather carelessly, and it appears that the side skirts and wheels are showing their original paint here.

On 25 February 1943 this Tiger was accidentally submerged and flooded, putting it out of action for weeks.
