‘Attention, Tigers!’ - these words, pronounced in various languages by soldiers of the armies of the anti-Hitler coalition, made hearts beat faster, if not from horror, then from the awareness of a mortal threat. At these moments, the soldiers' minds were not filled with the image of a ferocious striped cat, but with the idea of an invulnerable steel giant machine, spewing fire and death. Created by the ‘gloomy German genius’, this, without a doubt, the most terrifying German tank of the Second World War era was a perfect example of combat equipment.
