NOOb Hi, When I talk to people about German Armour of the last unpleasantness, The comparison between the Production figures of the T34 (50,000+) and the Sherman M4 (55,000) with the Tiger 1 produces at the least surprise usually disbelief, the accepted figure being less than 1400, actually 1347 is rated as the total of the manufacture of Tiger 1s. It shows how important this vehicle was given how few there were.
Abteilung 101 was in existence for just a year and a half and had a total of just 45 Tiger 1s and a total of 60 Tiger 2s, that small number accounted for at least 500 destroyed enemy Tanks.
