Take a look at the picture. What was the 13 on the hatch for?

This was a really great bit of detail I just learned. You Tiger Experts let the newer guys take a stab at it.

The numbers inside the turret indicated preparations required to make the turret water tight for under water wading.
13 =Tighten levers in the commander's cupola

Alright!!

Great job Brother!!! Kinda fun Huh?


Don

I can't get Google to translate a word of this...........Is there a translation to English possible? If not, how a translation to American?

Curiosity is killing me, which number says to take a deep breath?

Here is the translation as I got it from TIGER1.INFO
1 Lock turret and gun.
2 Free mantlet sealing frame, push forward and secure by means of locking nuts.
3 Remove M.G. and fit in sealing rod.
4 Draw back telescopes, turn sealing stopper upwards and clamp slide with locking nut.
5 Staunch gun cradle by turning handwheel above the gun.
6 Pump the sealing hose in the turret race up to 2.5 atmospheres.
7 Open water drain tube.
8 Tighten the nuts on the vision slit frames.
9 Open the tommy gun ports and fit sealing stoppers.
10 Fit water-tight muzzle cap.
11 Fit sealing cap on the ventilating fan exit in the turret roof.
12 Close hatches.
13 Tighten levers in the commander's cupola.
14 In the event of the sealing hose not being tight and letting water through the drain
tube, close drain tube and tighten inner sealing ring in the turret. To lay and fire after
emerging, sealings 1 to 6 and 14, at least, must be opened up.

I always thought it was that commanders tank kill quota for the day.
