The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. Tiger I is certainly one of the best-known tanks of the Second World War.
It was developed to provide the Wehrmacht's armoured divisions with a heavily armoured and heavily armed tank and to supplement the Panzer III and Panzer IV medium tanks, which were often no longer able to fight the enemy tanks effectively.
The main armament was the famous and deadly 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56 anti-tank gun.
Installed in the turret and protected by a heavy 120 mm shield, it was capable of penetrating the armour of any enemy vehicle of the time, even over long distances.
Tigers were deployed on all major fronts and took an active part in the German military operations in Normandy.
Although the heavy tank struggled with reliability and operational problems, in the hands of experienced crews it was always greatly feared by the Allied forces.
