The sPzAbt. 506 was formed in 1943 with 45 King Tigers. Their first action was in the Ukraine in late
1943 and then returned to Germany for the expected fighting in the West. September 1944 the 506
transferred to west of Arnhem and played a key role in the failed Allied Operation Market Garden attempt
to capture a bridge across the Rhine. A month later they took part in the defense of Aachen and then the
Ardennes offensive in December 1944 finally surrendering to the Allies in the Ruhr Pocket in April 1945.

Hitler was impressed with Allied heavy tanks and in 1941 ordered his own. In late 1942 Tiger I’s
appeared, bigger and better and had a massive 88mm main gun with greatly improved armor. In 1944
the Tiger II, a larger tank arrived with an upgraded 88mm and armor that was almost impenetrable
making it the most powerful tank of WWII. Just the sight of a Tiger II caused fear but they were too few and
too late. The Tiger’s biggest enemy was lack of fuel and mechanical breakdown.
