According to Vesti, an exclusive version of the Tiger by Porsche took part in the combat operation near the railway station Mga. The tank went into action along with the first five Tigers manufactured by Henschel in series. The Tiger that was fired upon in the Sinyavino bog and later was left to rust in the open for decades, it seems to be the very tank Adolf Hitler was so enthusiastic about.
Visitors to the Istra museum could see the degree of damage inflicted on the famous tank. Its track links disappeared during the “Saratov captivity,” its cannon was sawn off and its engine needs completing. But identification of the tank can still be done by using serial numbers on the body and engine. The German archives should keep the passport showing the movements of the tanks and information regarding the crew.
Experts estimate that the price tag for a tank of the class T-VI Tiger (even if the tank is in a pretty bad shape) is in the neighborhood of $1.5 million. The sum should at least double if the tank is sold on an auction. Given the rare version and a personal “relationship” with the Fuhrer, the tank can fetch tens of millions of dollars, reports Vesti.
