With its impenetrable armour, powerful gun, and huge size, the German Tiger I became a legend of its time. Arguably the most famous tank of WW2, it was designed for Hitler’s 50th birthday and quickly gained a mythical status which it has retained today.
Tiger 131 was the first Tiger I to be captured by the Western Allies and is the only surviving example that you can see in action. Every year, it attracts thousands of visitors to The Tank Museum from around the world, for the chance to see it in the arena alongside other WW2 tanks.
