Scariest looking tank ever.

As scary and awesome as the Tiger was they should have put those resources into Panzer IV development. They could pump them out at much higher rates.

Nobody said nothing about locking horns with tigers!

“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.

My 6th grade teacher was with the 101st around St. Mere Eglise. He told us how almost helpless they were against Tigers with what they had brought. He told us about lying flat in a strawberry patch, hoping the Tigers wouldn’t find them and how one passed so close he could reach out and touch it. He said they eventually brought in navy spotters who coordinated naval artillery against them. A few of those big navy rounds would start landing around them and the crew would just jump out and run like hell.
