- The only running Sd.Kfz. 182 ('Königstiger'). From the french Musée des Blindés in Saumur. Here to see at the 'Militracks' event of military vehicles of WWII in Overloon/NL.
The Maybach V12 Engine simply the best sounding and looking tank ever been built
indeed, very beautiful
@Nope Nope not everyone speaks fluent english man, cmon

Ok fair enough but can i be the 2nd best?
@@leopardthebismarck1519 of course you can
Nothing but a GREAT historic vehicle - those guys rebuilding her engine definately was successful as one can hardly see any smoke exiting the mufflers
localsheriff 1977 that's why it sounds so good
I had the privilege to stand next to a HL230 engine out of the chassis, without mufflers, when they test ran it.
The noise was deafening, indescribable. Screaming at the top of my lungs, my only Sensation was air leaving my body. I could not tell if I was making a noise.
Ar that Point, I understood tank terror.
@@MrZauberelefant no wonder those throaty and the steel track sound were demoralizing soldier
@@MrZauberelefant what's tank terror?
Purrs like a a kitten.. That noise
I find it simply fantastic to see one of my favourite tanks rumbling through the forest with such wonderful throaty sound! I really would have loved to be there to see this beast....
Hopefully as an allied soldier watching it being surrendered to you and not at the end of its sights ;-)
@@beersmurff if i were to meet that thing i would rather be german then a lone Allied soldier 😂😂
That engine pure eargasm
I'm more partial to the DB 605 :-)

Shit...too late -_-
It still looks like a formidable monster today! 🇩🇪
Only looks like, it wouldn't stand a chance against any modern tank.
it certainly does.
@@Bartooc Indeed, even the thinnest parts of a modern MBT are thicker (in RHA equivalent) than the thickest armour on the Tiger B. The Tiger is technology from more yhan 70 years ago, though, so a comparison is hardly fair.
That sound approaching must has been just terrifying to hear for the enenies
I find it interesting, that it's a much louder sound from behind, so that it was more difficult to hear it (from a distance) while it was moving in your direction.
Russian: Laughs in Is2 series tanks.
@@nunyabusiness3957 maus betritt denn chat
@@nunyabusiness3957 is2 doesn't stand a chance, the only reasons of why an is2 could destroy a tiger 2 was due to the spalling caused by the poor materials used by the end of the war. They needed to do a better version of is2 because even a tiger or a panther could destroy them frontally, even so the 88 l71 is enough to take down is2. Now if we talk about is3 that is one way to dispose tiger 2, but in the end almost 80% of those tanks were destroyed by nothing more than themselves due to the enourmous problems the tank had in the engine, transmission and fuel.
@@philipp1329
Is7. Made in 1946 and was literally invulnerable to any tank cannon in the world. Highly suggest you check out ConeOfArc's very insightful video on it.
its just something about seeing one of those tanks rolling through the woods that makes this awesome. seeing one of these historic tanks driving in the wood like how it used to all those years ago is amazing.
This KingTiger driving in the woods is the most beautiful thing in the world. I actually began to cry watching this......
can it still fire the gun ? can it go faster or are them just cautious
Im criying too :')
lima249 they can go a little faster amd the gun can’t fire anymore
They used to be able to go way faster, but after 74 years, with no Allies lurking around and a bunch of civilian onlookers close by, there is no need to go faster :-)
you'd cry even more if he got in the way of an JS-2
Good thing it was ordered with the optional Sport Exhaust System!
When enemy see King Tiger : dude, we need air support
How to defeat a king tiger: toss paint bombs onto it so the crew can't see anymore. I really don't know why this wasn't a tactic, a paint spraying crew would clearly be more successful than 50 Sherman's.
smiles/ the british and americans have never seen them. You had enough German infantry to shit your pants and surrender.
Or a Firefly
@@danielross7983 a firefly cannot knock out a Tiger 2 from the front, he has to shoot from the sides, and like tigers, they hunted at 2 / 3km, there was no point in calling any firefly, Since the Tiger 2's frontal armor in World War 2 was never penetrated
@@afonsoandrade2570 Too bad the mobility of the Tiger II sucked, and the terrain on the Western Front made long range engagements next to impossible in most cases. Outflanking the Tigers was a viable tactic, as demonstrated by the Americans in the Ardennes, where all the advantages of the Tiger II were rendered null due to a combination of bad weather, unfavourable terrain, and superior tactics from the Americans.
THAT is one loud-ass engine. You'd never forget a sound like that!
I just love the King Tiger. Even to this date, it spells Fear.
The design of this tank is simply awesome!! It's a visual and noisy pleasure!!!
What a beauty the King Tiger, and the sound of the engine is marvelous!
Was at Overloon back in 1963 or 64, can't exactly remember. I did remember the museum. It was much different then today. Basically you walked along paths through the Forrest until you reached a clearing and there would be a tank, no barriers or other obstructions. You could walk right up to the tank, touch it and everything including their Panther. Believe I still have some pictures from back then.
What a beautiful tank design it was for the time!!!!
I tell you what I was a Chieftain driver for 3 years and even now that Tiger is a force to behold. The allies must have shit themselves when they saw them??!!
they only made about 400 of these so the chances of running into a King Tiger were very slim.
@@lucas82 Yeah, Regardless-I'm sure in the event that any of the allies DID see this tank....they probably shit themselves, indeed!
на восточном фронте они не плохо горели
Allied did see unfortunately! 20 to 1 kill ratio! Before it ran out of petrol or broke down.
No matter what I do, I always come back here 😂 one of my favourite videos, EVER! What I wouldn't give to see it in real life
As a history and military lover, I agree completely.
0:10 ''And now, we can see a tiger... King of beasts in his natural environment.''
To know what it’s like being in the presence of a King Tiger passing by, notice how everyone was just.. speechless after the last glimpse of that machine veers around the corner until it’s out of view.
A legendary war machine, a piece of art, unique and the only one remaining
It's the only driveable (as far as I know) but there are some more existing in several exhibitions around europe. For example there is one in Munster, Germany.
El mejor tanque de la SGM por lejos! Una maravilla. Lastima que llegó tarde, sin superioridad aérea y sin combustible disponible.
Лучший танк был Т-34, который и переломил ход войны
Most aesthetically pleasing tank of WWII
I use to think Panther; but the mantlet and curves of the turret at certain angles does make it the most beautiful. I can't decide if I like it better when all the mud guards are gone.
@@davetorre1694 The mud guards really make it special for me, it really gives it the wide and hefty look
I like seeing the tracks on top of the suspension; over hanging the hull.
May favorite pictures of King Tigers are the ones of the 503rd battalion in Budapest. Mint condition, zimmerit, and classic camouflage pattern.
What a beast stunning tank
Imagine fighting in the ardennes, you and your platoon are down in a foxhole, there's 2 or 3 shermans some with 75s and 76s. Then one of em blows up, then a couple seconds late, another one. Your platoon finally finds where those shots are coming from. You look through a scope and see its silhouette, its big, and its terrifying.
Well, the Tiger ii didn’t exist til 1943 but yeah quite interesting.

Pleasure.
the German monster burns fuel like a dragon xD
I wanna go back to Overloon.I visted it when I lived in Oirlo for a few months and it is really good
I live in walking distance to the Hürtgen Forest and the Ardennes. There is a small village in the Ardennes (Belgium side) with a King Tiger in the center of the village. You can see that it got hit several times but the armor was not penetrated. Its in good shape but I doubt that the engine is still running.
La Gleize.. Kampfgruppe Peiper's final stand and where many vehicles were abandoned through the withdrawal of German Forces.. A good bottle of cognac was traded for the vehicle to be retained in the village. Must have been some bottle of cognac to be worth 800,000RM
Most of the damage on the (frontal) glacis comes from GIs practicing with Bazookas on the already abandoned tank. There is a video somewhere on RUclips where you actually see them doing so. The KT at the Gleize sports the long 75mm gun from a Panther as its own 88mm long gun was damaged during the battle.
@@Toxofox Most of the hits on the front armor are not from bazookas. Bazookas have a hollow charge. I don't want to get in trouble with the law but we found lots of Panzerfaust in the hürtgen forest when I was young and did some experiments. If you don't hit the armor at the right angle it will do nothing. A bag of sand will also stop a hollow charge.
@@seanrh4294 definitely bazooka. I'll try and find the video for you.
None of the hits penetrated. I believe no king tiger was ever penetrated on the frontal arc (glacis) anyway.
It’s Tiger 213 and was knocked out on 22nd December. It served as SS Obersturmfuhrer Dillinger’s command tank at La Gleize after his tank 009 had broken down.
I was her and seeing this beast in this beautiful scenery truly was a dream come true.
@Gappie Al Kebabi
Of course not!
Can't do it in public
Imagine being a GI in Mid-December 1944, manning an AT gun at some snowy crossroad in Belgium and off in the fog you hear a platoon of these monsters heading your way. Talk about guts.
You can visit the museum in Bastogne to relive the experience
I feel sorry for the poor blighters who had to stand in slit trenches while armour came towards them. If they got up and ran they'd be gunned down in an instant - the only thing they could do was sit tight, keep firing, and hope that the artillery saved them before they were driven over or killed with grenades.
i don't know why but my grandpa says get down the ground and shouting around to run after showing this vid
Nicely filmed.
It's a beautiful beast.
A beautiful beast it was. Ferdinand Porsche wanted it with electric powering, but time was running out late in the war
What a beautiful monster. The true forerunner of today's tanks.
Not really. Post-war tank designs from both the East and West were closer to the Sherman, Cromwell and T-34 than they were to the German cats. From the Sherman the M26 and later the M48 were designed, the Cromwell was the forerunner of the Centurion and the T-34 was the Godfather of the T54/55 series of tanks. West Germany's own Leopard I does not resemble the Tiger or King Tiger in any way either.
A thing of beauty.
Now THAT’S BADASS!
The sound of those tracks and the engine has to be the most intimidating thing.
I'm pretty fucking depressed that I missed all this. If I had a car I would've visited, wanted to train but I don't think they've got a single fucking train track in overloon.
You could take the train to "Vlieringsbeek", and maybe take a taxi from there.
From "Vlieringsbeek" to "Overloon" is about 5 kilometers.
I think it would be not to expensive due the short distantce to the museum.
I did that last year, we took some bikes with us. Was perfect!
Last time when I took the train to Vierlingsbek they had a nice shuttle bus which brought me to the museum! Great service as always with militracks
That's a nice tip, thanks.
Militracks only had a shuttle bus in 2013. If you want a taxi you should try train station Venray. Vierlingsbeek (correct spelling) is too small to have any taxi's.
Simply awesome, such a beautiful tank.
Wird Zeit, das die ganzen Dinger mal wieder nach Hause kommen...
Die Deutschen haben aber Angst vor ihrer Geschichte
Naja die wurden halt von den Alliierten erobert. Warum sollen die die jetzt zurück geben?
@@stsk1061 Weil die Ewiggestrigen sonst nix haben worauf sie selbst stolz sein können? xD
Nein, ganz im ernst, ist doch völlig egal wo die sind. Weil der in Frankreich steht ist er nicht weniger ein Stück Deutscher Geschichte als wenn er in Koblenz oder Munster stünde.
tja.. Die einzigen die diese "Dinger" vllt wieder nachhause kommen lassen könnten wären Reiche Private .. Dann würd' aber direkt der Bund kommen und ihn dir klauen (so wie mit dem Heikendorf Panther) .. oder dich zwingen die Kanone zu schrotten und nen Loch in die Panzerung zu schneiden ... So wie die den Panther mit nem Bergepanzer bei dem Armen alten Mann aus dem Keller gerissen haben, ohne Vorsicht und mit Roher gewalt .. nee nee, sind überall besser aufgehoben als bei uns
Jesus christ the bass when it passes by the camera. Now THAT is a powerful engine!
If you ever saw that thing at that range during WW2, and your uniform was not sporting a German insignia, you knew you had like a 3% of surviving. Thankfully, however, that thing had about a 3% chance of arriving on the battlefield without mechanical difficulties.
The track sound followed by a beautiful sound of V-12 Maybach
This is rare to see a tiger roaring through words
Im actually surprise she didn't kill those humans
I believe they wait for a war declaration before they kill. These cats are disciplined.
i surprised my grandpa with this event, i think he is very happy till even having seizure
Its beautiful and scary at the same time :D Anyway i love it.
Dit heb ik gemist! Toen ik ging kijken, reed ie alleen maar een stuk vooruit, en weer naar achter. En dat was het. Dus bedankt voor deze beelden!
Pleasure.
This is awesome just totally awesome!!!
Anakin, have you ever heard the legend of King Tiger the Heavy? I thought not, it is not a Wheeraboo legend.
King Tiger was so well-armoured he could protect himself from death. The only thing he feared was loss of mobility.
Ironically, his own transmission couldn‘t stand carrying all this armor and eventually betrayed and murdered King Tiger.
Still grinding with the stock gun. Just convert some XP for gold.
There is always a russian light or medium tank "object whatever the f...:" around the corner that completely outclasses the tigers and mouses.... *sigh* its true, i saw it in a game :)
In game only ))))
Just don't play sissy game wot
@@zoolkhan always feels good to wreck them in the Tiger I or Tiger II
The first tiger2 in movie for real
Its crazy how modern looking it is
They are still running, good job
Am i the only one enjoying the comments where multiple people argue on which tank is better...
Yes, endless discussion possible like 'My car is best'.
How brave must be those lads who faced these monster's in those trying conditions. We 21st century men can't hold a candle to those young men who fought & died in the great wars.
The King Tiger is an awesome beast. If only they had more powerful engines and had been more reliable.
My GOD our great grandpas had to be tough.
I want to own a Kübel 🤩😍
Imagine this thing rolling towards your position.
I wish my car would sound like the king Tiger 🤣
I have a land rover that smokes as much as one
Would love to see how the King Tiger would be against the main battle tanks of the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and then modern day tanks. It was the most monstrous, horrific tank of the 1940's but they only made a small number of them. It's frontal armour could not be penatrated in the 40's (just like the Tiger 1).
A restored Sherman and Royal Tiger are parked next to each other at a festival.
Sherman: You know, all these young kids are going around saying that you could kick my ass.
Tiger: Idiots, all of them. The war ended eighty years ago. Why would we go back to fighting?
Sherman: But do you sometimes wonder? Who would win if we fought again?
Tiger: My friend, we are survivors. Let the children make their stories about who would win. We have no need to fight, because know the truth: we both won by surviving that terrible war. Our prize is that we may spend our days in peace, teaching the younger generations about our bloody histories in hope that it will never be repeated.
Sherman: You're right...we should leave the fighting for the new machines.
Brave man who stood in front of that with a PIAT (preferably from the side or rear even). What a monster.
This would have been terrifying for an allied soldier to see in ww2.
Until it broke down, at least (though the Tigers didn’t break down as often as the Panther)
@@bkjeong4302 l also heard they were difficult to repair. A repair crew from the factory was sent repair them. I believe it was Porsche.
@@jerryjustice8803
Porsche actually lost the design bid for the Tiger because his version was so awful (even by heavy tank standards) that the Nazis rejected it. The hulls he had already built were repurposed into a tank destroyer (that was just as bad).
@@bkjeong4302 that was the tiger 1 yes, not the tiger 2.
Magnificent!
Work of Art
Judging by its design and size, it looks very modern. I imagine if you put a more powerful engine, a bigger gun in it and a few high-tech bits and bobs,, it would not be out of place on today's battle field.
Many of its best features were copied after the war by the Allies; while not a war changing Wunderwaffen, it has some good innovations
god what a monster. These look scarier than any modern tank.
HOLY F#@$, that is one sexy beast!!!
Wow that thing is a terrifying tank. I could only imagine being the allies and seeing such a monster.
Tu te chie dessus😂
"Königstiger" is an informal nickname. The official designation of the tank was Pzkfw VI ausf B "Tiger II". It was undoubtedly a beast, but unfortunately for the Wehrmacht it was also too much sophisticated, too heavy for most of contemporary bridges, and far too costly to produce. Its fuel consumption was huge, while the Third Reich had no more petrol reserves ! Less than 500 Tiger II were built, compared to 55000 Sherman or 75000 T-34... Moreover, allied heavy tanks equal or superior to the Tiger II, like the soviet JS-3, US M26 Pershing or british Centurion were ready to enter service in 1945-46.
Just imagine having this thing fighting on your side. This is a brilliant piece of german engineering
She's cute, but I prefer her older sister. You know, the one with nice rounded front, rather than a flat chest.
Me too !!
I dunno, flat-chested girls aren't bad, I think. But we all have our tastes😋
there are no german tanks with a "rounded front" and if you're talking about the Krupp prototype production model then that as stated comes before the Henschel production turret which is flat.
@@Insomniac3d He meant Tiger 1, dude...
Yes, Tiger 1 is not "rounded" per say, he meant it metaphorical ; as the Tiger 1 has a bigger, bulkier front, compared to the Tiger 2. He even said "older sister".
Tiger 2 has sloped frontal armor, that's why he says "flat-chest".
@@manupainkiller the tiger 1 came before the tiger 2, he said the tigers 2s OLDER sister, not younger. which means he's either talking about the jagdtiger or the maus.
meanwhile in war thunder:when you facing this with a sherman every fucking time.
sherman horror story
Imagine yourself inside a Sherman tank facing this thing and then you see it's turret rotating in a slow motion into you :)
Hail to the king!
That was one quiet tank! You can barely hear it unless it's almost right on top of you.
*Cloaking device activated*
This tank seems more to be Panther on steroids than upgraded Tiger.
It's a tiger 1 hull extended, at the front, rear, and sides
@@randysurline4651 It's a completely different hull.
The Panther is actually even larger, just not that heavily armored as the tiger. The Tiger's armor thickness is almost like a battleship's.
Herrlich anzusehen und dieser Sound einzigartig

So what do you do for a living?!
"Oh I drive around in a Tiger II all day at military vehicle parades ..

Such a majestic creature
You could have 7 late Pz4 Ausf.H, 4.5 Panther Ausf.G or 3 Tiger Ausf.E for the price of 1 Tiger 2. Definitely the most fancy looking and the most useless tank of WW2. Not that it would save Germany, they could never win the war.
Everyone's an expert nowadays. Sometimes I really hate the internet.
It's funny how the long 88, which is a big gun, looks small next to the tiger 2 it's mounted on because the tiger 2 is such a big tank.
awesome machine,awesome technology! the germans was in the top!
That engine sounds so good
What a beast. Still impressive.
The KING has arrived!
