Historical Background

The Tiger I Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E was the main German heavy tank during World War II, used by the Wehrmacht between 1942 and 1945 on the European, African, and Eastern fronts. The version with the reinforced mantlet armor was developed in response to damage caused by anti-tank fire. This modification was primarily employed from mid-1943 onwards, for example in units fighting at Kursk or in Italy.
