What Happened to All 1,800 Tiger Tanks After WWII? The Secret Postwar Fate of Tiger I & Tiger II

Описание: What really happened to Germany’s legendary Tiger tanks after World War II ended?

In this episode of World War 2 Chronicles, we uncover the hidden fate of the most feared heavy tanks ever built. As Germany surrendered in May 1945, hundreds of Tiger I and Tiger II tanks were left abandoned across Europe — triggering a massive Allied race to capture, test, and ultimately destroy them.

From secret firing trials in America and Britain to brutal Soviet testing programs, this documentary explores how these armored giants shaped post-war tank design — and why almost all of them were scrapped forever. Discover the truth behind their armor, the famous 88mm gun, the engineering secrets Allies desperately wanted, and the surprising reason only a handful survive today.

If you love deep World War II history, armored warfare, and rare untold stories, this episode is for you.
