Surviving Tigers

[Greg]

The Patton Museum traded an MBT-70 to APG in 1991 in exchange for King Tiger #332. While it's restored paint job isn't 100% accurate, it's displayed in better shape now.

Here's what 332 looked like at Knox after its arrival in 1991.

332 being towed from the maintenance facility where it was refurbished to the Patton Museum in prep for Armor Conference in the spring of 1992. Paint job isn't completely done yet (see the turret numbers). That big heavy thing with those metal tracks really tore up the asphalt!

On display in the Patton Museum. The museum re-cut away the plates that had been welded over the places in the turret and hull sides where APG had long ago cut out pieces of the armor to show the interior.

Gentlemen,

Were there any King Tigers or Tiger Is that were reused by the allied or some other countries after the war?
I am aware that the French reused some panther tanks after the war and there are some posts on a thread, I cant recall which one or where I saw them, the thread discussed abt some PZKW IV and Sturm being used by Syria and those tanks are now in the Israeli's museum, some sort of war trophy.
Has any countries re used the King Tigers ( I think its unlikely as there were not many of them build and, what a size) and Tiger Is?

Thank you
Josh

Hi Ardennes,

Maybe their Jagdtiger? 332 went to Knox in 1991.
