812

This series of three pics are poor quality but show 812 on its neglected side. The mantlet camo is a match




Another from the series of Walter Kruger addressing the troops



822
Cold starting? The smoke marks on the rear plate match #822 in the gallery



823
Another pic from the series of Himmler in #823




Unknowns

Not-823
Himmler again but not in #823 this time. Note the absence of a hull cross






Pic from Tiger in Combat II/Schneider



Chris

Gallery Match

These two pics are both currently in 2.SS-Panzerregiment galleries.
This in 8.Kp Unknowns

and this under #S33 in the Schwere Panzerkompanie gallery.


Examination of the tree on the left of both pics produces a match. They were taken at the same time and location and are probably the same Tiger.



I have a note that #S33 had previously been #831 though I cannot remember the source.

Can I suggest that both should be in the same gallery, presumably as #831.

Chris.

Yes your right and this should be the same Tiger. It is the Tiger with the chinese emblem before Kursk with the "Wolfsangel" painted on the front left.




I didn´t seen a photo of 833 with the chinese sign on the Tiger and the information about this is to find in W.Schneider"Tiger der Division "Das Reich" ".




May he thought by looking on S33 that the earlier "8" was overpainted with the "S" but the "33" was untouched...?






We had "Tiki" as "833" before he was renumbered as "S34"......

This Tiger allways confused me cause you never know how many times he changed his turret number.....here i read "S22"...but may it is "822"?...

I have moved this photo:



from 'unidentified' to '832'.

I identified it by three things:

1) The lower part of the track-pulling cable is painted over with the cross, just like here:



2) The upper part of that cable has a kink, just ahead of the end of the lower part. Again it is present in both photos.

3) An unknown large cylinder of the same appearance is sitting on the hull roof in this photo too:




In addition, the photos seem to come from a single repair session. The turret is turned to the rear, probably so they can retrieve items stored in the box under the turret floor.

I have moved this photo:



from 'unknown' to '832'.

It seems to be taken during the same session as the others. The exhaust pipe and exhaust shield is lying on the engine deck, in the same position as this photo shows:



The staining around the cross and logo is a match, in particular the small mark to the upper left of the division logo.
