This is a hard question to answer to due to the fact that Germany nor did the allies actually count the tanks they destroyed due to fact a war was actually going on. You can get a ruff estmate by counting the allies tanks which were used in WW2. However, soe tanks were abandoned by the allies due to variety of reasons. Over 225,000 tanks have been reported to be built but 75% were actually used mainly due to bombings and hijacks during non-combat scenarios or just broked down. So in total, the number of allied tanks used in ww2 in Europe was about 180,000. According to certain sources the Allies in Europe lost about 140,000 tanks and 20,000 were due to mechanical break downs or abandoned due to damages recieved but nor destroyed. The total of Tanks destroyed by the Germans were about 110,000-120,000.

How many tiger tanks were destroyed in world war 2?

You have to be more specific. I don't know the total number of Tiger Tanks destroyed but if you look at the German's records, they list many of them destroyed or abandoned by their own men. This was probably due to the fact that the tanks used so much gas the Germans may have had to leave them behind after destroying them. Also, German equipment was so finely engineered that they were too complex to repair in the field. Or it may simply be a propaganda ploy so it would keep up the belief that their Tiger tanks were indestructable. So, do you mean how many Tigers were destroyed in combat?


How many tanks was destroyed in World War 2?

An exact count of destroyed tanks was not kept by everyone in WW2. Some of the battles had exact counts but some places did not. You have to remember tanks were being used by the Allies and the Axis forces. You can believe they were not always going to reveal to one another how many they lost. Some of the tank troops were surprised 30 to 50 years later how many were really destroyed when they learned the truth. I would hazard a guess it could be close to 10 thousand world wide.

What did they do with destroyed tanks during World War 2?

If at all possible they were repaired and sent back into action. Even tanks which had been penetrated by an enemy shell and the entire crew instantly killed could often be repaired. A plug would be welded into the hole where the shell came through, and some lucky guy got to clean out the human remains. The Russians frequently repaired even German tanks, and used them alongside their own. As the Allies advanced through France into Germany they did not bother to repair enemy tanks, though they did fix up their own if possible. Many destroyed tanks remained right where they were until long after the war. A tank is a heavy thing, and takes a specialized vehicle to remove it. An ordinary automobile wrecker doesn't have the power. In places in Russia there are still hulks of destroyed tanks.
