This is amazing a fully functional King Tiger, had no idea one was still around. Knew there were a couple Tiger 1's, but not a King Tiger or the Tiger 2 or Konigstiger.
6 King Tigers made it all the way to La Gleize in the Ardennes during the battle of the bulge, all while Europe was experiencing it's worst winter in years. That's through mud, snow and the Ardennes terrain, so its mobility can't have been as bad as some say.
They were a masterpiece of engineering and quite more agile than you think..in the hands of kurt knispel..if you were an enemy. Your knees would be shaking more than that gunner in fury
@@kurtjammer9568A Sherman Firefly would be more terrifying because it’s much smaller and equally as destructive. With a Tiger you will see it for miles but a Sherman could be hiding in a bush waiting for you.
@@DakotaWoodHDThere are a lot of companies that make good models., tamiya RFM, dragon, trumpeter, AFVclub, takom,If you need help you can count on me for whatever you need. P.S thanks for sharing the video from France
And if go across the channel in England, one can see the only running Tiger I - which is also the oldest preserved one - at the Tank Museum in Bovington.
@@kristoffermangila Right, but there will not too soon be another alive Tiger I, in the same french museum, in Saumur city, it is under restoration at the moment.
best looking tank in the world what a awsome beast the germans created, and beautrifully restored.. to bad we cant see it go full speed.. i never see any of these videos with the german tanks let them go full speed or close to it
@@Javdoc no it isnt, it went through 3 foward gears almost into 4th by the time it got to the little dirt hill. it has 8 Foward gears.. this was about 1/3 of the speed it can go.. Dont believe everything you hear about them being slow.. theyre not THAT slow. it has 4 reverse gears, this right here is about as fast as it can go in reverse lol. They can cruise at 24 mph, this looked about 10mph
This might sound like an odd question and a thought that popped into my head but from what I'm aware, restoring these tanks can be difficult due to lack of documents and blueprints on them, parts etc. But has anyone tried reaching out to former German tank driver/operators of these machines? I know there's not many ww2 vets left in the world but at some point I would have hoped someone would've tried to reach out.
Then go to Saumur museum in France. There will not too soon be another alive Tiger I, in the same french museum where lives the Tiger II, in Saumur city, it is under restoration at the moment.
I saw a other comment that said they repainted it in its actual Normandy scheme for the 80th. The scheme before was the Tiger that knocked out the Museum curator’s Sherman
Could anybody help me? I tought that the King Tiger with the Turretnumber 233 was the last driving one. so now we have here one with a different Number and Paintjob. did they repaint the 233 or do we have now 2 driving Kingtigers?
Who owns this King Tiger tank? At the end of this video a Polish girl in commander's position (you can see her legs) says "Już idę już" which means she is about to leave. I'm guessing she is a tourist/visitor.
j'ai lu quelque part que le Tigre à été restauré à partir d'un châssis et d'une tourelle qui n'étaient pas montées ensembles à l'origine. Ils ont peut être remis soit le numéro de la tourelle du châssis d'origine, soit le numéro de la tourelle actuelle. mais peut être que je me trompe.
It gave only around 50 of the P series, i would love to see the only Tiger 1 p which ever served on the eastern front and got lost there, Not to Mix with Ferdinand or Elefant but one of them to See running would be nice too. In germany it would be possible to make an sturmtiger running, the one in the tankmuseum in Munster, i Heard his engine is in an Museum in Dresden. Well always nice to See old maschines running.
@gv4058 um, the one at Bovington (Tiger 131) is actually from the first production batch of Tiger I's. But it has the Tiger P turret, which can be identified by the cutouts at the lower edge of the gun mantlet (it needed those cutouts since the Tiger P had a raised engine deck).
@@kristoffermangilaI wasn't referring to tiger 131 I was referring to the tiger II prototype that was at bovington and was loaned to a museum in Sweden since it has the early turret.
80 years ago when it was new and came to France, the French complained. Now its an 80 years old used vehicle and they love it. You just can't understand people.
Huh... is something wrong with the transmission? The driver can't seem to shift it while in the optimal powerband, also a valvespring is a little spongy. 🤔
Seeing this King Tiger always annoys me because the French STILL haven’t fixed its engine and it’s been happening for years. If they aren’t maintaining it the engine is eventually going to set on fire or fail or both.

In my humble opinion I think the driver is doing a good job.
Yes the driver is very good. He is also a very nice guy. He spent the whole day with us a few days prior.
@@DakotaWoodHDHe seems to have ridden a Tiger back in 2018, and is also restoring the tiger 1.
One amazing looking tank. It's a great restoration, and glad to see it there for the 80th anniversary. The zimmerit on it is awesome!

Tiger 300 in France… Tiger 131 in England… Legends of the Battlefield.
The Swiss have one Heavy Tiger too. They want restored it, and its in progress.
it runs much better than a few years ago .
Look at the dirt and fona it matches the camouflage perfectly
I can't believe I missed it! I thought it was at the Overlord Museum where I was, I had no idea it moved to the Victory Museum
Ah that’s too bad, it’s very impressive in person.
Very good Video. Thank you very much!
The engine coughs give it character
What an adventure 💪🏻

Hopefully they restored the Jagdtiger in Fort Sill
Impressive.
Is this 300 formerly known as 233? Repaint, right?
I saw a other comment that said they repainted it in its actual Normandy scheme for the 80th.
The scheme before was the Tiger that knocked out the Museum curator’s Sherman
Well they're actually awe stricken.

You can see this king tiger at the tank museum of Saumur (France)
is this the same working tiger 2 for the musée des blindé but changed its camo for the 80th anniversary battle of Normandy?
Unos de los mejores tanques de la segunda guerra mundial
maannnnnn...... what a fucking beast..... 🤯🤯😦😦
Great tank
What a beast. That engine needs some attention tho.. its not running properly.
Absolutely awesome….👍

Musée de Blindes, Samur France, is a former tiger 123
Yes she is my friend’s wife. The Tiger is owned by Musée de Blindes 😁
It’s the King Tiger 233 from the Musee de Blindes that’s thankfully been repainted.
New scheme is much better. And from what I understand, more historical/accurate for this specific example
Where is this please? I’m in Normandy at the moment, cheers
It’s at the Victory museum 👍🏼
Thank you!!! I’ve been this morning and it was fantastic
Guys sitting in the Sherman, glad we didn’t have to face that thing…..
105 tiger ?
No, it's the long 88mm. The 105mm guns were only proposals that never went through into production.
The magnetos are not the problem every aeroengine has two magnetos
Needs a clean up in the interior
Das ist unser Stolz.....🤚🏼❤🇩🇪🥇.....Die German Wehrmacht 💪💪...!!!
I tought the tank had number 233, why now 300? Or am i wrong???

Ahhh so thats what happend to saumurs King TIger 233 huh? repaint with a different number

The last and undisputed king. Too late to the party, a beast in the digital world, only beaten by close air support.
Yeah bad on the Germans for losing control of their own skies. You can’t win a war like that.

i always see the H version. But i wouldn't mind seeing a driveable P version.
Not a chance, there are no surviving pre serie (vorsieren turm) Tigers in the world 😢

There's the one prototype at Bovington that has the early turret. Though its no where near operating condition.

Fun fact Post war the only country which still used panther and Tiger Tanks was france for about 3-5 years until france made own Tanks.
They’re also the reason so many were scrapped and so few survive today
The King Tiger came into action after the Battle of Normandy in 1944, say september onwards. Only a couple of few hundreds were build...
@@arnotamminga9285yes,only 487 King Tigers were built and 79 Jagdtigers
War thunder take note 🔊🔊
...one exhaust valve is hanging open...
Huh... is something wrong with the transmission? The driver can't seem to shift it while in the optimal powerband, also a valvespring is a little spongy. 🤔
Sounds like needs a tune up
they will broke the engine or carburetors, its not working fine - carburetors are set wrongly too much fuel (on the left) - fuel air set
If I were a billionaire and a tank buff ........ Id have someone build or restore a king tiger tank for me and drive it on my 500 acre estate.
Check out Australian Armoured Museum in Cairns.
A millionaire and tank buff owns it..🙂
Haha I have the same dream 😁
Yeah too bad they were shipped all the way to Australia

Designed by Porsche
Pity they didn’t dress the part , great tank but under powered
Would look so much better and more authentic if crewed by guys in black WW2 Panzer uniforms and with foilage/camo spread over the tank!
Very impressive but crew in baseball caps always ruin the historical impact for me.
