Historical Information

The Sd.Kfz.182 "King Tiger" (Königstiger) was the heaviest serially produced German tank of World War II. Nearly impervious to most Allied guns, it was used by the Wehrmacht during the late years of the conflict (1944–1945). This tank participated in, among others, the Battle of Normandy, the Eastern Front, and the Battle of the Ardennes. The version with the Henschel turret was the more popular variant and featured a different cast turret design compared to the Porsche version. It was famed for its formidable armor and its armament—the 88mm KwK 43 L/71 gun.
