Thumbnail image: Loading ammunition into a Tiger

Description

Crewmen load rounds of 88mm ammunition into an early Tiger 1. Inside the hatch we can see bags of MG ammunition hanging on the inside wall, and beside them a water flask. The loader's hatch, with its complicated watertight frame, was a feature of Tigers until early 1944. This photo is from a set, and the garment on the open hatch matches up to another photo, telling us that it's Tiger "123".

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