The Tiger tank was Germany's heavy armored answer to Soviet and Allied vehicles on the battlefields of the Second World War, mounting an 88mm gun capable of destroying enemy armor at ranges other tanks could not match. This film draws on archival German war footage to show the machine in action, from factory assembly to combat deployment on the Eastern and Western Fronts. Black-and-white newsreel material carries most of the account, with period footage standing in for narration or analysis. Given the scarcity of detail available about this particular production, exactly which campaigns, crews, or engineers it focuses on is not clear from the surrounding material, but the core subject, a feared and mechanically demanding tank built in limited numbers, remains a fixture of any account of German armored warfare in that war.
