Historical Description

The PzKpfw VI Ausf. B Tiger II (King Tiger) Henschel was the heaviest German tank used in combat during World War II (years 1944–1945). It was created as a response to Soviet heavy tanks, and its armor together with the 88 mm gun posed a formidable challenge for the Allies. The variant with the Henschel turret featured a simplified construction in contrast to the early Porsche turret. These tanks were mainly used by German armored units on the Eastern and Western fronts, taking part in the Battle of the Bulge and operations within Germany.
