Developed to meet the requirement for a heavy breakthrough vehicle, the German Tiger heavy tank is probably one of the most mythologized tanks in existence. If you just say "Tiger tank", it's guaranteed that most people will know what you are talking about. The Tiger is made out to be the impossibly strong beast that annihilated Allied tanks such as the M4 Sherman and T-34, but was it really that difficult to destroy? We'll be taking a look at that question and a few other myths. Not all of them are negative, I promise.
