Tiger II Tank Platoon (GBX178)

Tiger II Tank Platoon (GBX178)

Tiger II Tank Platoon (GBX178)
Includes three Plastic Tiger II (8.8cm) Tanks and one Decal Sheet.

The Tiger II promised to return the German heavy panzer to the early days of 1943 when the original Tiger I E tank dominated the battlefield. It was armed with an even longer 8.8cm gun (8.8cm KwK43 L/71) which could destroy enemy armour at long range with ease. Its thick front armour makes it invulnerable to most Allied guns, while its substantial side armour makes it ideal for assaulting its way through fortified enemy defences.

Bulge: German
In early December 1944 it seemed to the Americans in the Ardennes forests to be unlikely that the Germans would attack. On 16 December that illusion was shattered when the might of German Sixth Panzer Army smashed into the thinly-held US lines. The Germans led the assault with elite units of 1. SS Panzerdivision, 2. Panzerdivision and Panzer Lehr. More was to come. On 31 December Hitler launched the last German offensive in the west, Operation Nordwind. German divisions along the Lorraine front attacked into the old French Maginot Line where the Americans had dug in. With many of their reserves sent north to face the Ardennes offensive, the Americans were taken by surprise.
