designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, often shortened to
Tiger. It was an answer to the unexpectedly impressive Soviet armour encountered in the initial months of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, particularly
the T-34
and the KV-1. The Tiger I design gave the Wehrmacht its first tank mounting the 88
mm gun, in its initial armored fighting vehicle-dedicated version, which in its Flak version had previously
demonstrated its effectiveness against both air and ground targets. During the
course of the war, the Tiger I saw combat on all German battlefronts. It was
usually deployed in independent tank battalions, which proved to be quite
formidable.

The German King Tiger Tank was introduced in early 1944 and was the most
powerful tank during world war 2. With its powerful 88mm gun and an almost
impenetrable front armor, it was one of the most feared weapons of world war 2.
Up to the end of the war, the allies had not introduce any effective means to
counter the threat.At a meeting with Hitler on 26th May, 1941, the planning for the development of
a new heavy tank begun. During that meeting, Hitler ordered for the creation of
heavy Panzers which were to have an increased effectiveness to penetrate enemy
tanks; possess heavier armor than was previously achieved; and attain a maximum
speed of at least 40km/h. These key decisions led to the development of a new
heavy tank, the Tiger 1 tank and ultimately the King Tiger. However, no clearly
defined objectives or action plans were laid out for the succession of the
Tiger 1 tank until January 1943 when the order was given for a new design which
was to replace the existing Tiger 1.
