Описание: A Single Captured Tiger Tank Taught the Allies How to Kill Germany’s Most Feared Weapon

The tank that changed the course of WWII. 🛡️🚜

For years, the German Tiger I was a ghost story told by Allied tankers—a steel monster that seemed impenetrable. That changed in the North African desert when Tiger 131 was captured remarkably intact.

In this video, we dive into the incredible true story of how British engineers (and later American planners) dismantled Germany’s most feared weapon piece by piece. By uncovering critical flaws—like its over-engineered transmission and agonizingly slow turret traverse—the Allies finally stopped guessing and started winning.

In this video, you’ll learn:
The Capture of Tiger 131: How a lucky shot in Tunisia delivered a "living" Tiger to the British.

Engineering Secrets: Why the Tiger’s sophisticated design was actually its "Achilles' heel" in combat.

Shifting Tactics: How the Allies developed specific anti-tank maneuvers to exploit the Tiger’s slow rotation speed.

The Legacy: Why Tiger 131 remains the most famous tank in the world today at The Tank Museum.
