The Tiger I was a German heavy tank of the Second World War, used from 1942 onwards.
Normally organised into independent heavy tank battalions.
It provided the German Army with its first tank to use the 8.8cm KwK-36 gun (derived from the 8.8cm Flak 36).
1347 examples were built between August 1942 and August 1944.
After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was discontinued in favour of the Tiger II.
Unternehmen Ochsenkopf was an Axis offensive push into Tunisia from 26 February to 4 March 1943.
The offensive gained ground, but none of the ambitious objectives were achieved before the operation was called off due to mounting losses of infantry and tanks, particularly the Tigers.
Unternehmen Ochsenkopf was the last major Axis offensive of the 5th Panzer Army before its surrender in North Africa in May 1943.
