Coloured Panzer VI Tiger II - Königstiger

Extended Description
This Panzer VI Tiger II 'Königstiger' (Turret Nº 2-11) from the 2.Kompanie, schwere Panzer Abteilung 506 was captured by American troops and restored to a running condition by Company 'B' of the 129th Ordnance Battalion, 7th Armored Division in Gereonsweiler, Germany on the 15th of December 1944.

The 'Tiger' took a hit to the base of the turret that jammed it at the 3 o'clock position. A heavy wrecking truck was used to 'twist' the turret to the forward position and the US soldiers, seen here, are probably engaged in a battlefield clearance operation.
