A completed Tiger is loaded onto a special railcar. Note that the fender skirts are not installed at the factory as they would cause the tank to be too wide for rail transport.
Panther in the background, when everything hanngs down in the suspension it tightens up on the tracks.
A completed Tiger is loaded onto a special railcar. Note that the fender skirts are not installed at the factory as they would cause the tank to be too wide for rail transport. Quite so, it is also missing it's outer set of roadwheels and is fitted with special narrow transport tracks. No wonder they lost
Next shot in the series: According to Spielberger (Tiger & King Tiger Tanks, p.83) they were taken in the railway station at the Henschel factory.
Panther or King Tiger?? Tiger an Ausf A with the (very British looking) smoke dischargers? But wernt the panthers made by MAN? Kev
You been drinking at twenty to nine in the morning Kev? You know that's a Panther really... . MAN, Daimler-Benz, MNH, & Henschel all supplied Panthers at some point, MIAG chipping in alongside MNH with Jagdpanthers & Demag adding a few Bergepanthers to MAN & Henschel's total.

Its easy to forget how simaler the Tiger2 hull is to the Panther, its only the big skirts and extra roadwheels that make it look so lardy. Take them off (shipping) and they look pretty simaler. Thats my excuse anyway. Kev
