Thumbnail image: Tiger 200 wrecked

Description

This was the first Tiger lost by s.Pz.Abt.504 after their reformation in 1944. It's Tiger 200 and it bears impact marks on its hull side, probably from a battle near Gavorrano on 21 June 1944. One hit has torn away part of the side fender. It seems that a determined American gunner was trying to penetrate the tank's side wall. Tiger 200 survived, but broke down and was destroyed deliberately on the 22nd.
