Panzerkampfwagen VI aka Tiger I is a legendary war machine. This German heavy tank was used by tank legends such as Erwin Rommel and Michael Wittmann. It fought in the scorching heat of the North African deserts as well as on the icy battlefields of Kursk.

This steel juggernaut was designed to make breakthroughs on the battlefield by destroying enemy tanks at long range while absorbing hits from anti-tank guns.

It’s fame kept growing on during the post-war years as Tiger 1 found itself in many movies and video game series like Medal of Honor, Call of Duty and Commandos.

There is precisely 1 working Tiger I in the world.

This tank was used in the 2014 film Fury, the first time a real Tiger 1 has appeared in a feature film since They Were Not Divided (1950).

The venerable M-4 Sherman was a product of a different doctrine.

This tank was named after the famous American Civil War general William T. Sherman and became a legend under the command of General Patton.

Sherman was admired by both allies and foes.

Despite the initial Sherman's flaws, it underwent a number of upgrades and developed into an extremely dangerous foe to Tiger I.
