Historical Information

The Tiger II tank, commonly known as the King Tiger, was one of the most powerful tanks used by the Wehrmacht during World War II, mainly in the years 1944–1945. It was characterized by its powerful armament and armor. Zimmerit coating is an anti-magnetic protective paste used by the Germans to protect vehicles against magnetic mines employed by enemy forces. Zimmerit was applied to armored vehicles in 1943–1944, including during battles on both the Eastern and Western fronts, and King Tigers with Zimmerit were seen, for example, in the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of Berlin.
