Description
Tiger 141 of the 501 Battalion fought in Tunisia. It had a nonstandard turret bin, 3cm taller than normal, with 4 instead of 2 latches and U-beam side supports. The driver's vision port shield was not bevelled. The tail light was replaced by an apparent motorcycle light. This tank was lost in the battle of Hunt's Gap when it left the road and became stuck in mud.
