Tigers on the history channel

[gregM]

Right now I am watching the history channel "Heavy Metal" show on Tiger Tanks. They are showing reenactments using a Tiger1. Which Tiger was used for filming and where was it done? Also some pretty good war time film of Tigers in action.

The "Tiger" in question is a T-34/85 converted by Plus Film Services for Saving Private Ryran. After production ended the vehicle was housed at Bovington for a time. Then it was sold to a private individual assocated with a German Waffen SS (either 1SS LAH or 9SS Hohenstaufen) reenactor group in California. The vehicle may have changed hands in the years since arriving in California, but the Heavy Metal program reenactments in question were filmed in California.

You can see recent photos of the vehicle here:
