The Tiger I, officially the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E, was one of the most recognizable heavy tanks of World War II.

The tank stood out with its exceptionally thick armor (up to 100 mm at the front) and the famous 88 mm Kw.K. 36 gun, capable of destroying enemy tanks from long ranges. On the battlefield around Kharkov, its presence forced the Russians to employ new offensive and defensive tactics.
