“Scariest looking tank ever. “

I remember hearing/reading something that said there were never more than about 70 battle-ready Tigers at one time. (Maybe this was on the Russian Front only)

But just the rumor that a tiger was operating nearby would scare the crap out of allied tankers.

A tanker had two choices if they saw a Tiger. Unless they out numbered the Tiger more the 6 to 1; Runaway!

Russian front, yes. Meanwhile we made 11,000 (!!) tanks in four years of war, turning one out every 4.5 hours
