Tiger II (H

The Tiger II, or Königstiger, was Germany’s late-war heavy tank, combining a long 8.8cm gun with thick sloped armor. Production versions used the Henschel chassis, while turret configurations changed during early manufacturing. It fought in the final campaigns of the Second World War, but weight, fuel demand, recovery difficulties, and reliability constrained its employment. It was deployed on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, where tactical opportunities depended on bridges, roads, workshops, and recovery equipment. Heavy protection could not compensate for immobilization or the inability to sustain a formation operationally. The large vehicle also imposed substantial demands on recovery crews, bridges, fuel deliveries, and maintenance facilities.
