gruppe ferhmann tiger 1

[jarndice]

Hi, If you go to "BING" and type in Ferhmann Gruppe you will get a FEW and I mean FEW photographs of a Tiger 1, They show an early Cupola over a hull with late wheels, And an F + numbers on the Turret. Nothing in the way of extra information I am afraid.

I like to go to Missing Lynx for modeling references. Those folks BREATHE details! Ha. There's a pretty interesting discussion of them here: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47207/thread/1452492284

On the 6th April 1945, 6 Tiger 1s and 5 Panthers moved into the Ruhr, this was Gruppe Fehrmann, on the way a Tiger was lost due to mechanical failure,
On the 9th of April 4 of 5 Panthers were lost in battle, during the Counter attack 30 British Paras were captured .(Oh The Shame),
On the 11th of April 2 Tigers got bogged down in mud and a Panther trying to get them out also was caught, the crews unable to release their Tanks destroyed them,
Another Tiger was lost the same day in a battle with US Tanks but at least one Tiger carried on.
I know no more.
