Henschel und Sohn of Kassel built its heavily armored chassis, while Krupp developed the turret. The tank carried an 8.8cm KwK36 L\/56 cannon and two MG34 machine guns for close support against enemy infantry. Of the Tiger I's design, the tank was heavier than the Panzer IV it resembled in layout, with thicker armor, a larger main gun, and a sturdier engine, transmission, and suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnit History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchwere Panzerabteilung 504 was the second Tiger unit sent to Tunisia, with its first tank company arriving on March 12, 1943. During heavy fighting around Guriat el Atach, one Tiger was abandoned by its crew and captured by British troops. The vehicle, known as Tiger \"131,\" was later inspected by King George VI and Winston Churchill and became one of the most famous fighting vehicles of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.magiccars.com\/collections\/ride-on-cars\"\u003eShop all Magic Cars® ride on cars →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MagicCars","offers":[{"title":"Yes, Free Custom License Plate","offer_id":53015557767399,"sku":"25-700155","price":83.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Thanks, Not Needed","offer_id":53015557832935,"sku":"25-700156","price":83.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2245\/9711\/files\/magic-cars-corgi-1-50-german-tiger-i-ausf-e-heavy-tank-red-131-cc60515-1.jpg?v=1794154383","url":"https:\/\/www.magiccars.com\/products\/corgi-1-50-german-tiger-i-ausf-e-heavy-tank-red-131-cc60515","provider":"MagicCars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
