Following the success of Operation Torch and the Allied landings in French North Africa, this fearsome 56 ton Tiger I was deployed by Axis forces to reverse an already deteriorating situation and was ultimately was abandoned almost intact by its crew. Presented to the British as a trophy and months of intense training in the remote Suffolk countryside, this tank was reintroduced to finally push the Afrika Korps out of the continent.
