Tigers in COLOR (or "COLOUR" for everyone east of the pond)

Post by TankDriver »

Been on the lookout for REAL color pictures of Tiger I from WWII... interesting results, since there were so many color variations and camouflage patterns applied in the field.

Excluding ones I know are colorized, I've found many more than I thought I would in my collection of historical WWII color photo books. Do you have any you don't see here?

One more photo, which I found in two very different publications, so I highly doubt it's colorized.

I think they just dropped a replacement turret into an older hull, or maybe the other way around. I have an RC Tiger that looks the same

Makes sense that the Germans didn't always have the resources needed to properly & completely cobble together any hardware that could still move by the end of the war.
