ORIGINAL: RolandRahn AFAIK, the only cats at Stalingrad where the Tigers used for Wintergewitter.... Did any Tigers actually participate in Winter Storm? I was under the impression that they weren't used in the southern theater until January 1943, northeast of Rostov. I'm not absolutely sure about this, but according to Beevor, Anthony: Stalingrad, p. 297 (about Wintergewitter/Winter Storm): " Hitler nevertheless insisted that no more time should be wasted. He was also impatient to discover how the new Tiger tank, with its 88-mm gun, would perform. The very first battalion to be formed had been rushed to the Ostfront and added to Kirchner's force. " Anyone knows anything about this? Kind regards, Roland
