Apok ::Aмериканци су се наводно "срели" 3 пута са Тигром1 од искрцавања у Нормадији, у Француској.
Jедном су Шермани победили, други пут је Тигар против Першинга. трећи пут су Тигрове нахватали при утовару на воз.

Aha, kao što je i u Jugoslaviji 1943 - 1945 svaki drugi nemački tenk bio Tigar.
Evo jednog odgovora na ovo:

Interesantna je tvrdnja da je kod St. With-a američka izviđačka jedinica iz 87. konjičkog izviđačkog skvadrona, naoružana M-8 Greyhound-ima, uništila tenk Tigar ili čak Tigar II. Evo navodnog izveštaja o tom događaju:
"While the northern and eastern flanks had been heavily engaged, the northeastern sector (Troop A, 87th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron; Company A, 38th Armored Infantry Battalion; Troop E, 87th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron) had been rather quiet. The only excitement there had been when an M8 armored car from Troop B destroyed a Tiger tank.
The armored car had been in a concealed position near the boundary of Troop B, 87th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron and Company A, 38th Armored Infantry Battalion, when the Tiger approached the lines at right angles to move along a trail in front of the main line of resistance. As the tank passed the armored car, the latter slipped out of position and started up the trail behind the Tiger, accelerating in an attempt to close. At the same moment the German tank commander saw the M8, and started traversing his gun to bear on it. It was a race between the Americans, who were attempting to close so that the 37-mm gun would be effective on the Tiger's thin rear armor, and the Germans, who were desperately striving to bring their 88 to bear. Rapidly the M8 closed to 25 yards, and quickly pumped in three rounds; the lumbering Tiger stopped and shuddered; there was a muffled explosion, followed by flames which billowed out of the turret and engine ports, after which the armored cat returned to its position.1
1This action was reported to Major Donald P. Boyer, Jr.. S3. 38th Armored Infantry Battalion, by Captain W. H. Anstey (commanding Company A, 38th Armored Infantry Battalion) who witnessed the engagement."
Kao i komentar:
"Given the propensity of US troops to report any German tank as a "Tiger," I think there is a good chance that the German tank in the incident was a Mark V. Even so, the incident is still remarkable."
