Because that's a Porsche model (or at least an "early" model with turrets produced by Krupp), I must put out there, only ~50 King Tigers were made with that specific turret, all other/later King Tigers were produced by Henschel (with turrets still produced by Krupp, but now as a "production" model) with more square-shaped turrets to reduce the risk of a shot-trap, which was found out early on, which is why there is a very low number of King Tigers with the rounded turret cheeks.
In short, the King Tiger in this video is quite rare.
Thank you for the education and information.
Isn't the body more like a Panther, should be King Panther.... actually, I've got a book on the King Tiger, I should look it up !
@@jonathansteadman7935 Because the Panther hull is effective lol..
Yes I picked up on that,very rare indeed.
@@jonathansteadman7935
The Tiger 2's hull is basically a much more heavily armoured Panther hull
And don't forget that they are using one of the old Centurion ARV Mark 2 (originally sold to the Swiss Army in the 1950's and rebadged as the Entpannungspanzer 56) recovery vehicles here to move the King Tiger because it is also a beast. Love the way these two leviathans lurch forward together. You have to use a tank to move a tank and well done the recovery vehicle crew, you did an excellent job guys! The ARV's 12 litre meteor engine (based on the RR merlin) has an incredible amount of torque, as proven here in moving a combined 120 tonnes!
Driver of engineering vehicle is very skilled.
What's that engineering/recovery vehicle? Is that modified centurion?
@@banggobang5148 Definitely a centurion hull, not sure of the exact name.
@@banggobang5148 Centurion ARV.
Love a good centurion.. drove some for years. Enjoyed it and love to mount a tank carrier in one
I was lucky to see them together at Bovington. Nice of Bovington to lend there rare tanks out as it would just be stuck in storage as they redid the museum. Hope people will enjoy this truley rare tank.
Awesome driving by the Guy in the tow vehicle.
most epic looking tank ever build.
Please don';t blow this one up in gunnery tests. They are not making any more of them.....alas
Panther is also a good looking tank
So far ahead of its time in design! Timeless...beautiful!
Vad härligt att se! Och vilken läcker stridsvagn Kungstigern är! Måste besöka Ert museum tillsammans med familjen.
Familjen har inga ursäkter längre.
Nu kommer vi också :-)
The tiger ,the Panther and the M60 are in my opinion the most beautiful thanks ever made
Was soll das Attribut " beautiful"?
Kampfkraft ist das einzig sinnvolle Merkmal, hübsch hilft nichts im Krieg.
I’m referring at the beautiful design, like everything that is German or u just think that’s not part of the process? From planes to battleships including cars and motorcycles are pieces of art. That was the whole idea even until today!
The Bob Semple was the most beautiful tank ever made.
@@keithallver2450 well said
@@valkyrie9958 Germans have no sense of humor.. :-)
Surreal to think 80 years ago that had soldiers in it fighting for their lives….hammering on the throttle and banging gears through all types of terrain
a great uncle of mine was the commander of a king tiger, that thing sucks fuel like crazy and was constantly broken, or in other words, the monster was extremely high maintenance. By the end of 1944, he and his proud tank soldiers were infantrymen!
Sounds like most tanks. I mean what tank considered "well armored" do not suck fuel like crazy and constantly broken? Multi fuel engines and turbine engines! Wonderful display of sucking hard and constantly something wrong with them. (after WW2 designs I'm talking about)
Tiger II and Tiger I engines/drive train where just to much for the manufacturing of the day. Not to mention war time production. Or fuel shortage. To even manage to have the Mause move around under own power is just insane for the time.
Most messed up tank I have seen is a Tiger I without the turret running on wood. Literately running on wood gas from burning wood. (training tanks for drivers) Yet still insisting on making Tiger II's and Panthers when your down to using wood to power a super heavy tank at wartime.
@@TheDiner50 I was in Tank Brigade 29 in the early 1980s, our Marder (Marten) infantry tank and Leopard 1 were comparatively reliable. The light scout tank Luchs (lynx )was definitely not.
@@rolf-joachimschroder917 Are you envious of the danes, being the first one to use the Leopard 1 and 2 in combat?
Unreliability are tradition built into tanks since the first ones used in WW1.
@@TheDiner50 Thing is Tiger 1 wasn't that bad of a tank, research from the british and other documents state that it was pretty reliable and fast. (good power to weight, good engine cooling etc.) What gave it a bad name was the british propaganda, they took the smallest negative and blew it up like a balloon. Tanks like the Tiger 2, first panther series, crusader and ferdinand where alot worse.
Whats incredible is how that thing weighs nearly 20 tonnes MORE than the Centurion pushing it
Just don't use this one as a range target :p
*anxious bovington noises*
The swedish have had a King Tiger with a "Porsche" pre production turret and used it as a hard target and the last remains was scrapd in the early years of 1990
@@exzendar2523 ; The gun was scrapped in the 1980s according to Tanks-Encyclopedia with the engine and gearbox now at Arsenalen.
@@FirstDagger hope they put the engine a gearbox in this tank to have a other running tiger2 tank
Nah, lets try some explosive ammo on this one as well!
Germans certainly made beautiful looking tanks!
Stood next to this King tiger in the Soesterberg Museum. Truly massive machine.
Give that ARV driver a cigar. Nice job!
Had the luck to see it multiple times here in the Netherlands, Glad to see it's moving to a new country to be seen by many there!
Fascinating to see the Tiger II on the move again.
And, it is a Porsche Tiger, as identified by the unique turret. They have to be as rare as hen's teeth.
Lovely chunky tank! I so want to visit Arsenalen.
Givetvis besökte jag och polarn er direkt när vi hörde att en sån legend hälsade på. Kändes märkligt att stå bredvid den.
What a historical moment for yall! Was glad to have seen it on fb and here and the ability to pitch in for the travel fund and share it around my friends groups. Here to good health and a better later part of the year Long live the konings tiger!
I believe that king tiger is on loan from the Bovington tank museum. If it is I saw it just before the pandemic, it is a beautiful vehicle.
Sweet majestic piece of history = )
It has the early Krupp turret, very nice.
Porsche*
Henschel made the improved turret.
@@jellevandervelde704 nope. Both early and improved turrets were made by Krupp.
The early turret gets it's "porsche" nickname due to the turret being manufactured for the Porsche-designed prototype of the Kingtiger. Porsche ordered 50 turrets before it was decided which prototype (Porsche or Henschel) was going to be awarded the contract.
Porsche then lost to Henschel, but the turrets were already manufactured, so they put them on the Henschel-made Kingtigers. After complaints from the crews about the armour weakpoints, the improved turrets were issued.
Awesome tank, and nice job moving it!
So beautifull thanks !!! Respect !!
Those guys laying steel plates must be pretty cool dudes.
WOW !! Awsome!!
I wish i could see the king tiger tank once in front of my eyes in my life..😨
Great driving
Last time we (France) sent you a King Tiger, you didn’t look after it very well...
Hopefully we do better this time.
perhaps if they hadn't used there's as a range target they too would have had one instead of borrowing someone else's tank. case of forgot to think about future preservation all those years ago perhaps
Beautiful design.Low profile.
The Cent ARV crew did a good job here.
Great to see - thanks for posting!
Nå kan jeg endelig bare dra over til naboen for å se 👍
Looking forward to see it during our holiday in a few months :)
Looks like the one from bovington, glad I had the luxury of having my photo taken next to it.
Same, I thought the same thing, shame they havent kept it at the Tiger Collection, looked great with all of them lined up, I visited on Tiger Day about 2 years ago. Completely missed the main hall with the Panther ect, fucking gutted as I live the other side of the country and we went home without actually doing that big hall, only the Tiger Collection, WW1, and the Conservation shed thing. I guess I just forgot about it and thought we had finished lol
@@VulkanYT yea lol that must have sucked, especially if you came from somewhere far. I didn’t realise then That they were moved around so it felt extra special afterwards getting to see inside the jadgtiger, panther, both tigers and I think the elefant was there too.
'Porsche' turret looks very cool. That access hatch at the back is enormous.
It is not an acces hatch. There was a small one and bigger maintenance hatch back then but those removed post war. What you see now at back of the turret is a welded plate to fill up the hole. You can find pics shoving how it looked like back then.
Hope you know that Porsche had nothing to do with the Turret of the Tiger Tanks.
@@Soldner41 - rgr - hence the inverted commas - it's what everyone knows it as tho'.
@@gitfoad8032 hence why i asked, just to be sure. There are still too many People out there claiming that something like a Porsche Turret exists or existed.
It's funny, Sweden was gifted a Tiger 2 by France in 1947. It was one of the first 50 fitted with the so called "Porsche" turret. After testing was completed, it was scrapped. Now Sweden has to borrow one from England for display purposes.
Before sweden scrapped it we used it for target practice.... its enough to make a grown man cry 😢
I think it's just a Tiger II prototype (Fahrgestell V2) of Bovington.
A beautiful engine
In France We get two items
One at Saumur
Thé second at Fontenay saint Père
Nice job continue
Yes, Im goin' there as soon as possible!!!!!!
Nice to see you have the Tiger II on your premises. I will visit you on summer. I'm also expecting to have my t-shirt after donating 100 €...
I thought it was the Bovington one enjoy - I was fortunate to see it as part of Tiger expedition with Bovington’s working Tiger 1, Elephant on loan from US, museum Jadgtiger and Tiger II with conventional turret- what a sight. just such a shame Munster couldn’t find a way of getting their Sturmtiger there (even though it was a special exhibition of German vehicles) as that would have made a likely unique one off full set - couldn’t see the Russians letting Bovington have a loan of theirs especially now - but Munster should have stepped up and found a way in my view.
I hope Sweden is now going to do the sensible and with Finland join NATO ASAP?
@YT I think that has to be good for everyone except Putin.
The engineering vehicle is a Centurion I think, so not much older than the Tiger.
Younger
Mmm yeah that's the good stuff
The early Krupp turret, rare but I like the production model better
Great news. Excellent video. I tried to contribute to Stefan’s Tiger transport funding request but was too late, due to time differences between Sweden and NZ. Did Stefan sleep on the engine deck for the first night? 🙂
Nice to see that the Swedish sending now King Tigers to the Ukraine ;) would be a blast to see Russian face's in disbelief if this legendary giant enter a War once again and continuing the fight against the Soviets.
Wouldn't be even surprised if it could still eliminate Russian armour :D
Would be fantastic to light up some Ronsons with it and cook some wankies
Damn, thats a sexy beast to ahve on display!
Åjävlar!! Och tidiga prototyp tornet också! :O trodde inte det ens existerande någon av den varianten idag! Damn!
Nice.
Sent just a small penny to that and it's paying dividends.
(btw, are centurion ARV tracks properly tensioned?)
What a pretty girl nice addition to the collection even if its just temporary.
It's the King tiger ausf P, the first production model
The little cat has a new temporary home. 😉
Se på fan, den kom dit till slut!
They were a beast, weren't they...
Am I the only one that thinks this King Tiger bares a quite striking similarity to a Panther?
Especially from a head on view
They need to get it running.
Excellent video 📹
Wow.. Mighty impressed will the tyres on the transporter taking that abuse
Hey I have seen this one! It was in Het Nationaal Militair Museum in the Netherlands :D
Wow
Åh jaaa! Den har anlänt!
What a beauty
Porsche turret ,very good!!!!
While interesting, the Porsche turret is too slick and streamlined somehow. I prefer the production Henschel turret with the agressive angular design. Bovington should also upgrade the tan base coat. A nice hinterhalt camo would really take this lady to the next level.
Its even that tiger 2p my bruda
Is it a Bovington's Tiger II prototype (Fahrgestell V2)?
Крутая телега
Kungligt 👍🏻
History in motion
Oh! That's a pretty rare example of the Tiger II with Porsche turret...museums often feature the versions with the Henschel turret. Amazing. Does it have an original Maybach engine in it?
If this is the one I'm thinking of, then this particular Porsche tiger had its Maybach HL230 removed and transplanted into the famous Tiger 131 at Bovington Tank Museum in England. I *think* anyway. If not, then the Bovington P Tiger had its engine moved to the 131 anyway.
@@VulkanYT Yes, I think you are absolutely right,Sir - the engine of this Tiger II has been faithfully performing its service in the Tiger I with the famous number 131 in Bovington for so many years... amazing.
last year we had it here in the Netherlands
Incrivel como o tiger 2 se parese bastante com vk 45.03
Can you imagine facing this as an American or Russian soldier😐in WW2? Menacing !!
So yeah not really. They were rarely saw working.
@@chadjustice8560 as a combat veteran myself running into a broken down, would still make the heart patter if only for a few seconds.
With the German Tiger, the Swedish Police are finally able to drive into its many no-go-zones....
Is this for display only or is it a on going full restoration.
Will you get my fav.tank running?? It's need to come back
That trailer squeaking under load :D
It's like watching a nurse roll around an old person in a wheel chair
Early variant with Porsche turret - not much of these around anymore
Porsche Turm. Nice.
Very Kingly
where did they get this one from?
did they repair the one they shot up in the field?
Get that tank running and painted its needs to Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
That was an E-75
What a shame it’s not running the sound when they start up is mind blowing
The recovery vehicle is BIGGER than the KT, so the Centurion was at least as big as the KT? AND "Bytt är bytt kommer aldrig igen" losely translated to "Exchanged is exchanged, and will never be returned"!
Tigerll porche the first tigerll produced
Please tell me they weren't pulling the turret around with a machine at 1:20. Looks like a good way to bend/break something.
This is not the King Tiger from Henschel, it is the Tiger II with the Porsche turret.
Los comentarios están en inglés, pero tengo una pregunta, el tanque está sin camuflaje, ¿Es una réplica actual, o lo llevaron a mantenimiento y está sin pintura?
Creo que no tenía camuflaje porque es el prototipo para el Tiger II y el museo de bovington lo pintó de ese color
i’m guessing they will bring out the tank and reassemble the pieces like the side skirts and other stuff like that
If this is the Tiger I think it is, it belonged to Bovington previously. It’s a prototype made with soft steel found at the end of the war and brought to Dorset for evaluation. It never saw service and never had any side skirts or extra fittings to begin with
Can you imagine seeing that during the war? Sat in a Sherman against that beast? Thank God they came late to the war and had little impact. Once the Allies controlled the air it was only time
Isn't that the same vehicle from Bovington?
Is that an early version cause it has the curved turret front?
Yes, and it is also one of the 3 prototypes, V2
Nice ,How you are showing how 90% of the King Kiger's got around .
凄い 日本の戦車博物館にもあったら見てみたい
What is the interior like? Does it have it's engine and drivetrain? Will this King Tiger be made operational?
I don't know myself exactly what will happen to him, or only as an exhibit at the Swedish Tank Museum!. But I can tell you that the engine and gearbox are no longer there, I've seen some pictures that the entire interior is missing, and the engine was removed by him and installed in the Tiger 131 in Bovington
@@daviddruxius8496 The engine and transmission could, with a bit of work, be replaced with a modern diesel engine and transmission as has been done in other restorations.
@@terrysmith4831 The museum still has the engine and transmission! from the S2
1947 as a Sweden Tiger which was scrapped in the 90s! They want to build this into the Tiger 2, as he said at the end
