Tiger tank?

[me6_130]

Dear gents,

I was browsing around and I got to this web with some nice pics. See the link and the pic I have posted. It says under the pic:

"Reichsführer der SS Heinrich Himmler examines a Tiger tank of the Das Reich Division, near Kharkov, April 1943."

Either they were fooling Himmler or the guy that wrote the text doesn't know what a Tiger is...or I don't

Who ever wrote that is guilty of not proof reading OR has TOTAL lack of knowledge of tanks ! Tom

They had the war right, and it does look like Himmler. Two out of three ain't bad.

Maybe that was the time that Himmler also visited Tiger 823. Maybe that's the tank seen at the end of the line here.

... the third gun may be a 8.8 cm of a Tiger.
