The German Tiger I heavy tank served prominently with schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503 (s.Pz.Abt. 503), one of the Wehrmacht's independent heavy tank battalions during World War II. Formed in 1942, the unit received its first Tiger Is that December and entered combat on the Eastern Front in early 1943. It subsequently fought around Kharkov and participated in Operation Citadel during the Battle of Kursk, fielding 45 Tigers by May 1943. Armed with the formidable 88mm KwK 36 cannon and protected by heavy armor, its Tigers proved dangerous opponents. The battalion later fought in Normandy before converting to the Tiger II. 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 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
