| 1: Japanese Officers trying out the Tiger. Must have been quite an eyeopening experience for them, compared to driving their own Type 97's. (I can just imagine their faces when they first saw the tank  ) 
2: Pzkpfw IV Ausf.H

| More interesting pictures of the Tiger Ausf.B. You can actually see them opening fire on some of these pictures.
Tiger Ausf.B's on the firing range. During these practise firings, crews would on average manage to hit a 2.5x2.5m target at 2km distance with 85% of the rounds fired. (It was a different deal in actual combat of-cause)

Country: | I was reading a military report about the Battle of the Bulge and it was talking about the German tanks v. the American tanks. Quite interesting report. Unfortunatly one of the Officers here took it home with him today, so I can not post it.

Country: | It was actually a binder with many reports, that is used for training for the Command on what not to do and what to do. Interesting that this stuff is still studied by Tacticians today.
