Mp40 Mg42 Panzer Tiger Tanks
The Tiger 1 tank has a crew of 5, I know this because of a book called Tanks inside out. (The Tiger 2 or King Tiger also has a crew of 5)
The Panzer, the Panther, the Tiger
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.
