RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

That's it! Thanks! And nowhere does it say that these particular King Tigers were sent to the Ardennes. That book was pretty darn detailed about the movements of every single Tiger unit, and...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

Ah, so when you said this,
You were wrong? This was filmed in SEPTEMBER 1944. Show me proof that said that the 503rd surrendered these Tigers before being shipped to Hungary, then these Tigers...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

Um...you're kidding right? I think the famous propaganda film you are thinking about was the film of the S.SS.PZ.ABT. 501st that was driving through a town (forgot the name of the town).

The pic...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

You've picked the best Tiger battalion out of all of them. It's a shame really, the the SS Tiger battalions get most of the fanfare. It was the highest scoring Tiger battalion, destroying more than...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

The ambush camo scheme was not a specialized camo pattern specifically designed for the Ardennes offensive. In fact, the very first King Tigers that I know that sported this distinct camo pattern was...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

If you're painting your own tanks? I agree. Paint it to your heart's content. But if someone was asking for something to be as historically accurate as possible, saying things like, "Hey, it's...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

Yep, that's why I said,


I should have made it clear when I said 1.kop, I meant the 1st kompanie of the s.pz.abt. 503, and the very early King Tigers were the first production runs of the King...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

It's possible, but highly unlikely. I mean, it's also possible that panzer crews could have painted bunny shapes and hearts all over their tanks, but I would hold my breath in finding a pic like that...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

That Porsche King Tiger was one of the Tigers issued to 3.kop of the s.pz.abt. 503 in August 1944. That whole kompanie was bombed to extinction by Allied aircraft while on their way to the front, and...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

The Panzer Lehr never had Tigers on their own, but the Panzer Kompanie 316 (Funklenk) had Tiger Is and the very first 5 Tiger IIs ever built. That panzer kompanie was attached to the Panzer Lehr....

My bad! I hope the Irish members here don't lynch me. :D To my credit, at least I didn't call them English. :D:D

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

Hmm..now that you've mentioned it...

S.Pz.Kop. Hummel (which was basically a unit made out of reserves) had weird-looking Tiger Is. And it had been integrated with the s.pz.abt. 506th, which is...

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

RE: "Ambush" on a Tiger 1?

Have you thought about making your King Tiger and Late Tiger I into tanks of the S.Pz.Abt. 503? I can't think of another Tiger company that had both Tiger I and the King Tiger at the same time at one...
