King Tiger – A Powerhouse of World War II

Introduced in 1944, the King Tiger was Germany's response to increasingly powerful Allied armored forces. Its 150 mm thick frontal armor and 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 gun made it virtually unstoppable by most Allied tanks of the period. The tank took part, among others, in Operation Wacht am Rhein (Ardennes, December 1944), where it was especially troublesome to its opponents. By March 1945, only 440 units had been produced, making it exclusive and a subject of military legend.
