The Pz.Kpfw VI (Sd.Kfz.181) Tiger is a German heavy tank of World War II, one of the most famous combat vehicles of the time. The German Panzerwaffe command had the idea of creating a heavy tank from the beginning of the war, but the first attempts in the form of the century-old Neubaufahrzeuge tank proved unsuccessful. In 1939 and 1940 they were carried out ineffectively, but after the confrontation on the Eastern Front with the T-34 and KW-1, work on the new heavy tank was accelerated.
On April 20, 1942, the prototype of the new tank underwent field testing in the presence of Adolf Hitler and was put into mass production shortly after. The Tiger on the battlefields proved to be a very effective weapon. He fought successfully in Tunisia, the Kursk Arc, Normandy and on the Eastern Front.
