Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. E

US soldiers pose on Tiger, tactical number 11, at Hunt's Gap, Tunisia. Tiger number 11, together with six other Tigers, were destroyed their crew after becoming bogged down after heavy rain. This Tiger's turret was flipped upside-down by the explosion. The Tigers were part of 7. Kompanie/Panzer-Regiment 7 at the time, as part of Unternehmen Ochsenkopf, (Operation Ox Head), though they were originally assigned to 1. Kompanie/501. schwere Panzer-Abteilung. After being delayed at the battle of Sidi N'sir, the Tigers were ambushed at Hunt's Gap on 28 February, where they fought for several days. During the battle, the commander, Oberleutnant Hartmann, was wounded. Of special interest is the deformation at the middle of the gun barrel, indicating overheating due to prolonged firing.
