Default RE: TIGER APPEAL


ORIGINAL: Panther G

Is this the Tiger that actually belongs to Aberdeen, That the Brits where supposed to return years ago? If not where is our tiger now. Aberdeen is moving there museum to a much smaller location. I hope we get it back soon.

Aberdeen Tiger - This Tiger, originally assigned to the German heavy panzer unit s.Pz.Abt. 501, was captured in North Africa in 1943. The panzer was subsequently shipped by the U.S. Army to Aberdeen Proving Grounds for testing and analysis. (See Yank article.) After the war, the Tiger was displayed at Aberdeen for many years. But as of September 2005, this tank is not at Aberdeen, but is in Europe for restoration.
