Tigers and Elefants
Tigers and Elefants
Hallo,
In the book titled "Feuer: An Artilleryman's Life on the Eastern Front" by Werner Adamczyk it is stated that fewer than 1500 Tiger Is and 500 Tiger IIs were produced during the war. It is also stated that there were approximately 50 Elefants deployed during Operation Citadel. Are these figures accurate?
Thank You
J.D.

Hello!
As far as I know 89 Ferdinands/Elefants were at Kursk with s.Heeres-Panzerjäger-Abt.653 (45 vehicles) and 654 (44 vehicles).
One for testing stayed behind.

In general, there were more Tiger IIs on the eastern than the western front, and I think the same goes for the Tigers (it would make sense, as the most of the fighting happened here)
You can find an overview of the Tiger IIs that went to the individual units here: http://www.panzerworld.net/TigerII.htm
