What's with that Palm Tree/Swastiget symbol?
Is that the Afrika Korp?
Ya think the Russians would give theirs to the Deutsch Tank Museum... Maybe they would look after it better.Given the number produced, very few Tiger Is survived the war and the post-war scrap drives. Many large components have been salvaged over the years, but the discovery of a (more or less) complete vehicle has so far eluded enthusiasts and collectors. In addition to Tiger 131, five other Tiger tanks survive, as the following locations:
* Musée des Blindés in Saumur, France. In good condition. An indoor exhibit. It has the narrow transport tracks fitted. This Tiger was part of the 2nd company of the SS Heavy Panzer Battalion 102, fought in the Cauville sector, and was abandonned by her crew after a mechanical breakdown. She was recommissioned as Colmar with the 2nd squadron of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment, fighting her way all back to Germany.
* Vimoutiers, France. In bad condition. Outdoor monument. Heavily damaged by demolition charges set by the crew when abandoned in 1944.
* Kubinka Tank Museum, Moscow, Russia. In good condition. An indoor exhibit.
* Military-historical Museum of Lenino-Snegiri, Russia. In very bad condition. A former badly shot and cut up firing range target. An outdoor exhibit and subject to frequent vandalism.
* United States Army Ordnance Museum, Aberdeen Proving Ground, United States. In good condition. Most of the left side of hull and turret was cut up in the late 1940s for display and educational purposes. This tank is currently in the Kevin Wheatcroft collection for restoration, but it will be returned to the USA soon.
