Tiger tanks: 1,200+ King tiger tanks: 497
Only about 1,300 Tiger tanks were manufactured. In contrast the US built 88,000 Sherman tanks, and relied on vast numerical superiority to offset the tremendous qualitative edge enjoyed by the Tiger and Panther tanks of Germany.
THE KING TIGER TANKS MAIN BATTLE WAS THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
There are a few tigers in Europe, and at least 2 working tiger tanks in America. May I suggest to try to type in restored Tiger tanks in Google? Videos of the tank in action will come up.
yes they are possibly the most powerful tanks of all time
the tiger tank was one of the Germans most heavily armoured tanks
In a tank on tank encounter, I'd want to be in the Tiger.
yes
Actual organization had 3 Tiger I in HQ (2 Command Tigers), and 3 Companies each 2 Tiger I Command tanks in Coy HQ, and three platoons each 4 Tiger I tanks. The older Tiger Battalions were either reorganized with this TO&E or equipped that way when reformed. Actual Tigers number 45 at full strength. I think the total number of Tigers produced in total was in the region of 1300.
Michael Wittmann destroyed 138 tanks with his almighty Tiger I tank during the course of 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?
