I’ve not seen any tiger with zimm so better not to put on
tiger II’s had zimmerit
Not sure about that with the Ardenns. That was right on the cusp of when it was not being used anymore. I seem to remember I read that at least some of the KT’s didn’t have zimm there. But I stand to be corrected on this one.
while they did stop applying zimmerit to new models in november 1944, it is possible some tiger 2’s in the ardennes had zimmerit… here is a pic of one captured by the americans in december of 1944… note the zimm…
Whats the deal with the OD and big white stars?
Was that a late war camo scheme for the germans ?[:D]
its normal german cammo tiger 2 with square sheets with stars on it
Yes, it’s the allies King-Sherman camo scheme. [;)]
Actually, if you notice, the star on the front is pointing down. This is a pentagram, a secret symbol used by satanic cults. The little known “Ozzy Company” photographed here, has captured this vehicle and marked it with their symbol as they rode off to participate in one of their bizarre rituals. [}:)]
[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D] LOL, too funny, Ron. I was about to mention that the star was upside down, but not only did you beat me to it, you had a MUCH better “slant” on things!! [bow][bow]
(Spector, How could you tell it was OD??)
lol thanks guys everything helped in the long run especially the photos
