Seller's Description
Well-known Tiger ace Michael Wittman was commanding this tank when he was killed in action on August 8, 1944. There was some question as to whether this was indeed the tank he was killed in, the presumption being that he would have been operating a tank marked with a command tactical number. It turns out he was using this tank and probably "borrowed" it from another crew. This unit had 45 Tiger Is, with 37 in service at the inception of the company. One of these Tigers was lost during Wittman's attack on the British armored columns at Villers Bocage.
Henschel Sd.Kfz.181 Tiger
Production of the Tiger began in August 1942, and by August 1944 1,355 of these tanks had been built. The 88mm main gun was the most powerful anti-tank gun in use by any army. The superior mobility of Allied tanks allowed them to attack from behind or from the side in the hope of taking a Tiger down. The influence of Tiger tanks on allied morale grew to almost mythical proportions, and was known as "Tigerphobia." Tigers destroyed tremendous amounts of enemy equipment and often just the sight of a Tiger would induce the Russian tankers to withdraw.
