If the Herr or the Waffen SS had had the number of "Tiger tanks" in their inventories per USA reports, there must have been at least 10,000 around!  |
Read George Koskimaki's history of the 101st during Market Garden & quite frankly I got the impression that ANY tank with slab sides was a 'Tiger' & any tank with sloping armor was a King Tiger...of course, if you stood around & stared at them for too long you'd probably end up getting killed...and the only way I figured it out was because those airtransported 6pound AT guns were just doing TOO GOOD a job of penetrating the armor of an actual "Tiger".
