The final tank in our series is the Tiger II, which was anticipated to be something like Germany's Second Death Star after the fearsome Tiger I. That didn't really work out for the Nazis, because the Tiger II's underpowered engine and excessive fuel use limited its effectiveness. The 150K lb. monster was 33 ft. 9 in. long and 10 ft. 2 in. tall. It featured an 88m gun and 2 7.92mm machine guns. The Germans deployed the tank on all fronts: Europe, the USSR and North Africa.
Fury, the World War II tank movie written and directed by David Ayer and starring Brad Pitt, arrives in theaters October 17.
