HOLD THAT TIGER:
First photograph in a series of photos showing the Tiger undergoing maintenance the
photos show the Tiger having its turret removed.
Heavy maintenance battalions were equipped
with the portable crains needed for heavy lifting.
FOR THE FATHERLAND:
This is not easy work its hard and dangerous work, there were no short cuts in repairing a Tiger. How many soldiers were killed and
injured working at this type of heavy maintenance, will never be known...
