The
Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I is undoubtedly one of the most famous
tanks of World War II. It was developed to provide the armored divisions
of the Wehrmacht with a heavily armored and heavily armed tank to
complement the more common medium tanks, Panzer III and Panzer IV, which
were no longer effectively countering enemy tanks. Its primary armament
consisted of the renowned and lethal long-barreled 88mm KwK 36 L/56
anti-tank gun. Installed in the turret and protected by a heavy 120mm
shielding, it could penetrate the armor of any contemporary enemy
vehicle even at long distances. Deployed on all major theatres of
operation, it played an active role in German military operations in
Normandy and the Western Front. Despite facing issues of reliability and
deployment, the heavy tank, when operated by skilled crews, was always
greatly feared by the Allied forces.
