The Tiger I was a German heavy tank developed in 1937 by Henschel & Sohn when the Waffenamt requested Henschel to develop a Durchbruchwagen, this would result into the Durchbruchwagen I
which would never be fitted with a turret and was replaced by the Durchbruchwagen II after the request for a heavier 30-tonne class vehicle with thicker armour.
The project was dropped in 1938 in favor of the larger and better-armoured VK 30.01 (H) and VK 36.01 (H), these vehicles would use the complex over-engineered Schachtellaufwerk track suspension system of torsion bar-sprung, overlapped and interleaved main road wheels, which would later become problematic when jamming solid in the winter.
Four prototype hulls were completed for testing. Two of these were later modified to build the "Sturer Emil" self-propelled anti-tank guns.
In 1941 with the experience of the Battle of France, Henschel and Ferdinand Porsche were asked to submit designs for a 45-tonne heavy tank, to be ready by June 1942. Porsche worked on an updated version of their VK 30.01 (P) Leopard tank prototype while Henschel worked on an improved VK 36.01 (H) tank. Henschel built two prototypes: a VK 45.01 (H) H1 with an 8.8 cm L/56 cannon, and a VK 45.01 (H) H2 with a 7.5 cm L/70 cannon.
Porsche and Henschel submitted prototype designs, each making use of the Krupp-designed turret. The Henschel design was accepted, mainly because the Porsche VK 4501 (P) prototype design used a troubled petrol-electric transmission system.
Production of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. H began in August 1942.
The tank was given its nickname "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the Tiger II entered production.
The initial designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H was re-designated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943.
The Tiger was still at the prototype stage when it was first hurried into service, and therefore changes both large and small were made throughout the production run. A redesigned turret with a lower cupola was the most significant change. To cut costs, the river-fording submersion capability and an external air-filtration system were dropped.
It would first see action near Leningrad on 23 Sep. 1942 months earlier than had been planned. A platoon of 4 Tigers went into action, they could not operate in swampy, forested terrain, their movement was largely confined to roads and tracks, also many of these early models were plagued by problems with the transmission and many broke down, the Soviets also captured one Tiger largely intact, it enabled the Soviets to study the design and prepare countermeasures.
In the North African Campaign, the Tiger I first saw action during the Tunisian Campaign on 1 December 1942 east of Tebourba. The tanks proved that they had excellent protection from enemy fire, this greatly increased the crews trust in the quality of the armour, the crews also found the tank to be spacious and comfortable.
The Tiger proved to have great armament and was a outstanding design for its time, its armour which was resistant to tank and anti-tank guns of the time. and the 88 could knock out enemy Sherman tanks at 2,100 m and the T-34 at 1500 m, but with Allied tanks becoming more up-armored and upgraded and having better guns like the M3 90 mm cannon used on the M36 tank destroyer, made the Tiger vastly obsolete in the end.
The Tiger was also over-engineered using expensive materials and labor-intensive production methods, it was prone to track failures and breakdowns and was limited in range by its high fuel consumption. It was also hard to transport and was often too heavy for small bridges which had 35 ton weight limits.
I had to re-upload this video because it was hit with 'Limited adds' and eventually shadow banned.
But why Limited adds.? I think it's because TH-cam has placed this channel on alert and is deliberately hitting these videos before it's even done uploading yet.
What does Limited adds mean? It means that it will not get the views it would normally get and the video will fall out off TH-cam's algorithm.
Most of the time it will get adds back after review, sadly that's not working anymore. So i'm getting demonetized without breaking the TH-cam guidelines.
As a result my channel has been slowly dying and I really have no motivation to make any new videos and probably aren't going to anytime soon.
Also most of the extra information in the comments, I always implemented is gone, just to not piss off the broken YT Bots even more.
The Tiger sure was a beast of a tank in its day.
IT was except the drive was made for a smaller tank and wouldn`t hold up and nothing could with stand the 88 with its sighting system, When it came to the even bigger tiger II my dad`s friend told me you can hear them traveling 3 miles away
Thanks! I build scale models, and without channels like yours I wouldn't have reference materials to improve my builds.
Thank you so much Hans for the super thanks, this helps out a lot. Happy Modeling.
Great work on your video as usual thanks again for your work
Thank you 👍 for the comment.
Thanks for this video. Lots of footage I've never seen before. Interesting to see that a lot of it is from the Allies capturing German vehicles.
Glad you like it my friend.
Wonder who wrote in chalk G.Look on the side of 131 there as there fitting the deep wading snorkel? Need to add that into the model I'm away to build soon of 131!
Nice upload, nice footage.
Thank you 👍
I like how the smoke launchers look like whiskers
The best
The beast
The Tiger
Why are the clips zoomed in?
Some parts are zoomed in, to cut out logos from these scam companies that claim these videos as there own and try to sell them for 100 of dollars, you probably know what I mean.
@@PanzerInsight Understood. Wish you could just paint or blur them. :(
I can, but it takes a lot of time to do that, and this channel is shadowbanned and to be honest it's really not worth my time anymore.
@@PanzerInsight Damn shame.... :(
@@PanzerInsight just read now your reply and I find it a great shame that your channel has been shadowbanned! I'm quite upset because I always liked all your videos. I can wish you a merry Xmas and a happy New year 🎉 🍾🥂🍻🎅
From 4:46 to 7:51 being inspected PM Churchill and British Ordnance Personnel is the world famous Tiger 131 which is the earliest model of the Tiger 1
I think the 131 is the one the plastic model companys used for their model.
Not quite the earliest. The 1942 Tigers had a number of different features including early type mudguards and exhaust shields, pistol port on the turret rear etc. Tiger 131 is a February 1943 Tiger.
Only one Tiger still runs.
One all ORIGINAL Tiger still runs.
A break through tank with nothing to break through after Kursk. In the defence they were formidable but never enough to make a difference.
Not listening to your military commanders isn't good either. Not many if any German general or Field Marshal agreed with Operation Citadel not aot of Hitler's calls, especially "fortress cities"
If it hadn`t of been for their weak drive trains we might of had some extra worries.
Actually Tiger Is performed well in breaking through the Soviet ring around the Cherkassy-Korsun Pocket in February 1944, some 7 months after Kursk. The Tigers of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 503, attached to Schweres Panzer Regiment Bake, got the closest out of all German armour to the trapped troops, who managed to link up with them. One of the last attacks the Tiger Is went on.
Tiger IIs went on the attack in the Ardennes and in Hungary in Feb and March 1945.
@@lyndoncmp5751 the Tiger II didn't have much good luck in either attacks, to big, to heavy and way to expensive. Very advanced but Germany needed tanks that could actually get to where they were needed.
Jack Moorehead
True for the Ardennes but not for Hungary. In February 1945 the King Tigers lead the way in good open tank country and were instrumental in the Germans successfully retaking the Gran bridgehead off the Soviets there.

🤩
Jesus imagine getting hit by that main gun. googly moogly
They say it was the 2nd most powerful and accurate nest to the one in the tiger II of all the allies and axis
gun fisher
While the Tiger I's gun was not as powerful as the Tiger II's gun it was apparently a bit more accurate at long range.
Show
🇧🇷😃👍
Um abraço do Brasil
Parabéns pela dedicação de estudo histórico
So we have to pay R400 to watch black and white videos,bro as much as I want to see uncensored Tiger 01 videos I won't pay this much PER MONTH, you'd already have a lot more followers if you made the content free on your Patreon/TH-cam channels
Everything is free on here and on Patreon after a few weeks, so you have no idea what you're talking about, I also just can't show stuff that triggers the YT bots it will destroy the channel.
if only we had build 15000 tigers instead of 1500, the world would have a free Europe and not the war we have today against the Bolshevik hoards in and against Ukraine
Yes because the Germans were so great with anti cencorship, free speech and had no forced gun rules and did not defund the police. Ow wait they did.
@@PanzerInsight its was the greatest war in human history, a war of opposite principles, the true struggle of good verses evil, time passed has shown who was the victor, the breakdown of family's, the woke perverted world, gay marriage, the mixing of third world with first world, the dollar tin pot ecomany run by the jew bankers, i know the world i would rather live in
You are really confused, never heard of the phrase, History repeats itself. The same corrupt stupid politicians that caused WW2 are repeating the same stupid decisions today. Political decisions such as, more government control, de-funding police, social credit system, anti gun laws, hate speech laws. If people are scared to voice there opinion because on group will punish them for there opinion, you need to known something is wrong. So if you think the people that won the war, are the people that caused this and is the side that let this all happen you are wrong.
The Soviets, the CCP, the Nazis, they all used the same political tactics, it's all politics to push people against each other.
Too heavy..crap transmission...awful wheel/suspension system..terrible to fix in the field....but a great looker
not just a great looker, also an effictive weapon. But Bonkers to keep that overengineered thing running while having low recources.
@@jorgeckert3162 totally agree
Little wrong with its transmission, and the crews loved the comfortable ride that the torsion bar suspension and interleaved road wheels gave them.
Repairs on the running gear were not very often. What was preferable was a comfortable ride.
This was not the tank Germans needed especially after Kursk. They needed a tank like T-34 to win the war but they could only produce something like that in Panther but again it's 42 ton weight made it's transmission and suspension difficult to work making the tank even more unreliable than the massive Tiger 1 and 2.
And yet the Tiger could take out 10 T-34s in a day. The problems were with repairs, supplies and LACK OF FUEL....
@@alericc1889 you yourself put my point in your reply. Germans needed easy to produce, cheap, reliable, easily repaired and tank with low fuel consumption. T-34 stands out in all these parameters but Tiger don't.
That's really the problem, they never could mass produce, they never ever even figured out how to mass produce any product, in that fact Germans were really behind on production standard. So they only could make ridiculous vehicles to compensated for this.
@@PanzerInsight The Germans were real fool and made some strategic blunders in production. You know what 21 10.5 cm lefh 18 howitzers could be produce in total in place of producing only one Tiger tank. But Germans chose to produce Tiger tanks in place of those light howitzers
@@PanzerInsight Agree, they were too concerned with making weapons that were finely crafted instead of ugly mass produced items to get the job done. Add in the shortages they had, in fuel, raw materials and fuel and it compunds the problem.
