The German Tiger I heavy tank saw extensive combat with the 2nd SS Panzer Regiment of the 2nd SS Panzer Division "Das Reich" during the Battle of Kursk in July 1943. The regiment's Tiger company spearheaded attacks against heavily defended Soviet positions during Operation Citadel, using the Tiger's thick armor and powerful 88mm KwK 36 cannon to engage enemy tanks at long range. Operating alongside Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks, the Tigers supported the division's advance toward Prokhorovka. Although highly effective against Soviet armor, mechanical failures, mines, difficult terrain, and determined resistance limited their overall impact during the offensive. 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.
