Historical Information

Gruppe Fehrmann was an ad-hoc German armored group formed from the remnants of various units, including several Tiger I tanks. The tanks used by this group were vehicles previously withdrawn from front-line service, sent back into combat due to the dire situation faced by Germany near the end of World War II. Gruppe Fehrmann operated mainly in northern Germany during the Allied offensive in the spring of 1945. The Tigers from this group were distinguished by their unusual camouflage, improvised equipment, and characteristic markings—making them an intriguing subject for modeling enthusiasts and historians alike.
