Information about a Tiger chassis

Description

This Tiger was originally numbered 213. Its right-hand smoke launchers became lost, possibly in the Ksar Mezouar battle. Three photos show it being towed back toward Sidi N'sir after the battle. At that time the tank was numbered 813 and it must have been given a third "7xx" number afterwards, but we don't know all of that number.
