Description
This is one of the original 20 Tigers of s.Pz.Abt.503. It was commanded at first by Leutnant Detlef von Koerber, whose journal covering January 1943 is published. In Spring 1943 this Tiger was renumbered from White 131 to Black 123. Balkenkreuz were painted on the turret. Later, its turret suffered battle damage, so that of Black 113 was substituted (an older version with 2 pistol ports). With the number 123 painted on this replacement turret, the Tiger appears in a well known set of photos from Kursk.
