Historical overview

The Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B Tiger II, also known as Königstiger or King Tiger, is one of the most famous and recognizable tanks of World War II. The German armored forces introduced it into service in 1944, fighting on both the Eastern and Western fronts. The version with the Porsche turret was one of two main variants, characterized by a slightly more rounded turret and several design differences compared to the Henschel version. The Tiger II with Porsche turret took part, among others, in the battles during the "Wacht am Rhein" operation in the Ardennes.
