Fotogalleri af en Tiger Tank i aktion, The Tiger I er det almindelige navn på en tysk tung tank udviklet i 1942 og brugt i Anden Verdenskrig. Den endelige officielle tyske betegnelse var Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, ofte forkortet til Tiger. Det var et svar på de uventet formidable sovjetiske panser, man stødte på i de første måneder af aksemagternes invasion af Sovjetunionen, især T-34 og KV-1. Tiger I-designet gav Wehrmacht sin første tankmontering af 88 mm pistolen i sin oprindelige pansrede kampvogn-dedikerede version, som i sin Flak-version tidligere havde demonstreret sin effektivitet mod både luft- og jordmål. I løbet af krigen, Tiger jeg så kamp på alle tyske kampfronter. Det blev normalt indsat i uafhængige tankbataljoner, hvilket viste sig at være ret formidabelt.

Den Panzerkampfwagen VI (Pz.Kpfw. VI), commonly known as the Tiger, was a series of German heavy tanks used during World War II. It was a formidable and revolutionary design, primarily known for its incredibly heavy armor and powerful main gun. The series includes two primary models: the Tiger I and the Tiger II.
1. Panzer VI Tiger I (Sd.Kfz. 181)
The original Tiger I was a response to the unexpectedly strong Soviet tanks encountered during the invasion of the USSR. It entered service in 1942 and quickly established a fearsome reputation.
- Rolle: Heavy Tank, designed for breakthrough and long-range engagement.
- Hovedbevæbning: The devastating 88 mm KwK 36 L/56 cannon, which could penetrate most Allied tank armor at extreme distances.
- Armor: Featured very heavy, though largely flat and vertical, armor. Frontal hull armor was typically 100 mm thick, with the gun mantlet up to 200 mm. Its protection relied on sheer thickness.
- Vægt: Omtrent 57 tonnes.
- Mobilitet: Powered by a 700 hp Maybach V-12 engine. Capable of speeds up to 38 to 45 km/h on roads. Its complex interleaved road wheel suspension provided good off-road performance but was mechanically demanding and maintenance-intensive.
- Mandskab: 5 (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver, Radio Operator).
2. Panzer VI Tiger II (Königstiger / King Tiger) (Sd.Kfz. 182)
The Tiger II, or “King Tiger,” was the successor to the Tiger I and represented an evolution in German tank design. It entered production in late 1943.
- Rolle: Heavy Tank.
- Hovedbevæbning: The superior 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 cannon. This longer-barreled gun significantly increased muzzle velocity and anti-tank performance.
- Armor: Combined the sheer thickness of the Tiger series with sloped armor. The frontal hull plate was 150 mm thick and angled at 50, making it virtually impervious to most Allied tank guns from the front.
- Vægt: Næsten 68.5 tonnes, making it the heaviest tank used by Germany during the war.
- Drawbacks: Its extreme weight severely strained its powertrain, leading to significant mechanical reliability issues and placing a massive burden on German logistics and manufacturing.
