A captured Tiger with its wading pipe erect. Of all the tanks that fought during the Second World War the best remembered is the German Tiger. The pride of the Panzer forces, the scourge of the Allies, it was already a legend before the British Army met it in action, and that reputation has survived until the present day. The short video below entitled Tiger Tank, shows the power of this legendary tank. Additional information is available on the downloadable CD-ROM The Tiger Tank A British View. Based almost entirely on original intelligence reports held in the Tank Museum Library at Bovington Camp, it examines the Tiger in detail from the Allied viewpoint. The reports cover everything from the initial rumours to the ultimate capture and evaluation of a working Tiger tank. Supported by copies of many original drawings and dozens of photographs it shows this famous fighting machine through the words of soldiers and spies, engineers and prisoners of war.
