Bergepanzer Tiger
Привет,
Из www.achtungpanzer.com
In 1944, three Tigers were field converted by the sPzAbt 509 to recovery vehicles - Bergepanzer Tiger. In November of 1944, all three were transferred to the sPzAbt 501. Single mid production Tiger I (pictured above) damaged near Anzio in Italy was rebuild and converted by the workshop of sPzAbt 508 to a special purpose vehicle. Conversion took place from March 1st to 5th of 1944. Its gun was removed and the turret traversed to the rear and fixed. A winch was mounted on the turret's top along with a 10-ton lifting crane. It was also equipped with other auxiliary equipment. This particular vehicle was lost between April 20th and May 25th of 1944 and was captured by the British, who reported it as Bergetiger with a crane. This single Tiger was not a real Bergetiger but charge laying and clearing vehicle. Bergepanzer Tiger received SdKfz.185 designation but it is not confirmed since Jagdtiger with 88mm KwK 43 L/71 gun also received the same designation.
