Thumbnail image: Tiger 231 and its damage

Description

This Tiger survived 250 impacts from Soviet weapons in a single engagement. This well-known photo shows the extent of the damage. The missing side skirts reveal the original colour (RAL8000) under the whitewash. The tank is configured in "transport" mode, with narrow tracks and some wheels removed. It has presumably been brought back to Germany at this time.

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