Its characteristic shape is still recognizable all over the world. The vehicle itself has become a legend and is still present not only in historical materials, but also in pop culture. The first Tiger units were delivered to the front near Leningrad and Tunisia in August/September 1942. The tank designed and manufactured by Henschel was very modern and effective. Unfortunately, its production consumed huge resources of valuable raw materials and time. The Tiger I and a few Tiger II tanks had a significant impact on the course of hostilities. The infamous and feared Tigers destroyed over 10,300 Allied tanks and 11,380 guns with their own losses of 1,725.
