The photograph depicts the renowned German Tiger I tank from World War II. The vehicle, marked with the turret number “205,” belonged to the 101st SS Heavy Tank Battalion and was commanded by the famed German tank ace Michael Wittmann. The Tiger I was considered one of the most formidable tanks of the war, distinguished by its heavy armor and powerful 88 mm gun. This image was captured in June 1944 as the tank was moving from northern France toward Normandy. | WW2 Odyssey
