CG60513CORGI TIGER I 1/50 GERMANY ARMY RUSSIA 1942Even though the
Panzerkamfwagen VI Tiger heavy tank was only used in relatively small numbers
during WWII, its fearsome reputation and sinister appearance ensured it is
regarded as the most famous tank of the Second World War. Another tank
developed as a result of Wehrmacht experiences on the Eastern Front, the Tiger
may not have shared the cultured appearance of the Panther, but this was a war
machine pure and simple and one which was devastatingly effective on the
battlefield. Heavily armoured and equipped with the powerful 88mm gun, the
sighting optics on the Tiger were so effective that enemy tanks could be
destroyed at great distances and well before they were in range to return fire.
By the time of the D-Day landings, the reputation of the Tiger was already
assured, but even though they managed to inflict heavy losses on Allied
armoured units, their small numbers were swamped by an overwhelming tide of
Allied armoured numerical superiority. Unable to control the battlefield,
damaged and unserviceable Tigers were simply abandoned to be captured by
advancing Allied troops.
