Used during the Operation Polyarnaya Zvezda on the Mga sector in Russia in December 1942. This operation occured just in the same period as the Stalingrad offensive and the March to Moscow. The Tiger was painted in german grey and covered by a white large strip camoclad. Because of winter conditions, the white camoclad was dilued, uncovering the german grey. Production of the Tiger began in August 1942, and by August 1944 1,355 of these tanks had been built. The 88mm main gun was the most powerful anti-tank gun in use by any army. The superior mobility of Allied tanks allowed them to attack from behind or from the side in the hope of taking a Tiger down. The influence of Tiger tanks on allied morale grew to almost mythical proportions, and was known as "Tigerphobia." Tigers destroyed tremendous amounts of enemy equipment and often just the sight of a Tiger would induce the Russian tankers to withdraw. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
