The Tiger I was a German heavy tank of World War II that operated beginning in 1942 in Africa and in the Soviet Union, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. It gave the German Army its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8 cm Flak 36). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.[12] After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger II.

Tiger I main gun was a 88? Damn. I didn't know that.

Yes, it had the dreaded 8.8 Cm, arguably the best tank gun of the war. And the 502nd was deadly with it. It had the highest kill ratio of any heavy tank battalion from either the Axis or Allies for the entire war.

Hitler requested they put the 88 on a tank, they said we don't have a tank that can carry one.
He said build it

Yeah. That’s one of my son’s old Star Wars figures from when he was a kid. I also have his AT-AT in there as well.
