The original 88mm KwK 36 L/56 gun was used by the armed forces of Nazi Germany during World War II. The Tiger I, armed with this very cannon, struck fear across the Western and Eastern European fronts, as well as North Africa, from 1942 until the end of the war in 1945. The KwK 36 was famous for its exceptional firepower and anti-tank effectiveness, enabling the Tiger I to often come out victorious in engagements with Allied tanks. This barrel is an inseparable element of the identity of the Tiger I—a true legend of 20th-century military history.
