Printed by the U.S. Military Intelligence Service during WWII, the Intelligence Bulletin was designed to inform officers and enlisted men of the latest enemy tactics and weapons. The June 1943 issue of the Intelligence Bulletin contained a report on the new German heavy tanks encountered in North Africa, the Pz. Kw. 6 Tiger.
[Editor's Note: The following article is wartime information on enemy equipment published for Allied soldiers. More accurate data on WWII German weapons and equipment is available in postwar publications.]

NEW GERMAN HEAVY TANK
In Tunisia the German Army sent into combat, apparently for the first time, its new heavy tank, the Pz. Kw. 6, which it calls the "Tiger" (see fig. 3). The new tank's most notable features are its 88-mm gun, 4-inch frontal armor, great weight, and lack of spaced armor. Although the Pz. Kw. 6 has probably been adopted as a standard German tank, future modifications may be expected.
The "Tiger" tank, which is larger and more powerful than the Pz. Kw. 4,1 is about 20 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 9 1/2 feet high. The barrel of the 88-mm gun overhangs the nose by almost 7 feet. The tank weighs 56 tons in action (or, with certain alterations, as much as 62 tons), and is reported to have a maximum speed of about 20 miles per hour. It normally has a crew of five.
The armament of the Pz. Kw. 6 consists of the 88-mm tank gun (Kw. K. 36), which fires fixed ammunition similar to, or identical with, ammunition for the usual 88-mm antiaircraft-antitank gun; a 7.92-mm machine gu

The armor plating of the Pz. Kw. 6 has the following thicknesses and angles:
Lower nose plate_________ 62 mm (2.4 in), 60° inwards.
Upper nose plate_________102 mm (4 in), 20° inwards.
Front plate_____________62 mm (2.4 in), 80° outwards.
Driver plate____________102 mm (4 in), 10° outwards.
Turret front and mantlet_____Possibly as much as 200 mm (8 in), rounded.

ret sides and rear_______82 mm (3.2 in), vertical.
Lower sides (behind bogies)__60 mm (2.4 in), vertical.
Upper sides____________82 mm (3.2 in), vertical.
Rear________________82 mm (3.2 in), 20° inwards.
Floor________________26 mm (1 in).
Top_________________26 mm (1 in).

The angular (as opposed to rounded) arrangement of most of the armor is a bad design feature; reliance seems to be placed on the quality and thickness of the armor, with no effort having been made to present difficult angles of impact. In addition, none of the armor is face-hardened. The familiar German practice of increasing a tank's frontal armor at the expense of the side armor is also apparent in the case of the Pz. Kw. 6.

Undoubtedly the Germans developed the "Tiger" tank to meet the need for a fully armored vehicle equipped with a heavy weapon capable of dealing with a variety of targets, including hostile tanks. Although the "Tiger" can perform these duties, its weight and size make it a logistical headache. It is entirely probable that the Germans, realizing this disadvantage, are continuing to develop tanks in the 30-ton class. Further, it is interesting to note that the Pz. Kw. 6 has proved vulnerable to the British 6-pounder (57-mm) antitank gun when fired at a range of about 500 yards.
1 To date there is no record of a Pz. Kw. 5 having been used in combat.
