description: The Tiger I was a German heavy tank of World War II that operated beginning
in 1942 in Africa and in the Soviet Union, usually in independent heavy tank battalions.
It was designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf H during development but was changed
to Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf E during production. The Tiger I gave the German Army
its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (derived
from the 8.8 cm Flak 36). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.
After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger
II. 1347 have been build.
