Unique history of the King Tiger tank

The Sd.Kfz. 182 King Tiger was the most powerful combat tank in the Wehrmacht’s arsenal during World War II. It was introduced into service by Germany in 1944, with its production and use taking place in the final phase of the war – from mid-1944 to May 1945. The King Tiger with the Henschel turret was present on the most important fronts – it fought both in the defense of the Western Front after the Normandy landings and on the Eastern Front against the Red Army. It stood out with its sloped armor plates, thick armor layers (up to 150mm), and its main armament – the KwK 43 L/71 88mm gun – offered it devastating firepower, capable of penetrating almost any Allied armor of the era.
