Historical description: The Tiger II, also known as the Königstiger, was the most powerful tank serving in the Wehrmacht during the final years of World War II. The model with the production turret (the so-called Henschel) was characterized by its distinctive, angular shape and served in key battles such as the defense of Germany in 1944/1945 and on both the Eastern and Western fronts. Due to its massive armor protection and powerful 88mm gun, the Tiger II was respected even by Allied tank crews.
