Tiger 1 meets Leopard 2 face to face
’Tiger 131’, as it has come to be known, is an original World War 2 German Tiger 1 tank that was captured by British Forces during battle combat in Tunisia, North Africa in 1943.
It’s owned and operated by The Tank Museum at Bovington, Dorset, England and is currently the World’s only working example of an original Tiger 1 tank.
Tiger 131 is usually driven in the Tank Museum arena during at least 2 public shows annually.
The rare sight here of Tiger 131 in the arena, ’face to face’ and together with a German made Leopard 2A4 tank of the Royal Netherlands Army, was filmed during ’Tankfest’ 2016.
Tiger 131 also famously appeared in the Hollywood Movie ’Fury’, when it was up against American Sherman Tanks.
’Tiger 131’ is known after the tanks unit designation number that is painted in red on each side of its turret.
