Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2006-09-01 01:18	Probably "Made for movie PzKpfw VI E"

Only 6 Tigers survived the war, with only 1 (apparently) the only working one (Tiger 131). Of course, film makers chose to mock up other tanks for the job. I felt that the use of Soviet tanks to portray Tigers were... abused/over-used.
