Konigstiger Tiger Tank t shirt

Just another tiger tank t shirt, but this is the Konigstiger (King Tiger) t shirt. I decided to go with a gray color with black for shading and use the Konigstiger name instead of King Tiger on this t shirt. I have made this tee shirt available in black and military green. As far as t shirts go, most people don’t want to buy white t shirts. I think I will also use a royal blue due to the bright contrast with the gray and black. This is the heavy Tiger 2 that was used near the end of world war 2 by the Germans. The official German designation was

Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B

with the ordnance inventory of SdKfz 182. The Konigstiger tank (Bengal Tiger in German) was also commonly known as the Tiger 2 that of course came after the Tiger 1. The Konigstiger was also translated to King Tiger tank by Americans and Royal Tiger tank by the British troops. The Konigstiger had very heavy armor and could not be penetrated by a Sherman M4 tank, even at point blank range. The Konigstiger had sloped armor much like the Panther tank and used the 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 gun also used by the Tiger 1 tank.
