sPzAbt 506 was the only Heer Tiger Battalion that took part in the Ardennes
offensive.
The King Tiger, Germany's most formidable Heavy Tank, made its first appearance
on the WWII theater in 1944. The first 50 tanks produced had Porsche turrets
whereas subsequent tanks were equipped with the Henschel designed production
turret. The King Tiger was armed with a 71-caliber 88mm gun that had enough
power to penetrate 150mm thick armor from 2000m away. For protection, the chassis
front armor was 150mm thick with 80mm thick side armor.
