Le tigre de Vimoutiers

[aguyfromsweden]

whats the name of the marsch?



[bb5814]

The Vimoutiers Tiger was blown up by it's crew in 1944 and was pushed off the road into ravine where it lay for some years.

A local farmer dragged it out and mounted it as a monument/tourist attraction.

A close look will show how wrecked it is. The torsion bar suspension is smashed, the hull expanded by internal explosions. Internally it is a total mess.

@bb5814 I agree,someone should send it to saumur museum,they restaure all the tanks they have.They have the only king Tiger which works on the planet !

what a shame why somebody doesnt repairs it, ??? ww2 tanks are historical jewels

[brssgirl]

how was it stopped?  was it hit by shell, bomb, rocket? Did it get stuck in a hole? Did it break down? Or rund out of fuel?

@brssgirl

Left by the crew, petrol shortage. After the Falaise pocket battle retreat.It was pushed in a dish, just near this location, by US bulldozers, who cleared the roads at this time,and stayed here 31 years,from 1944 to 1975.It was on the point to be dismantled by a local scrap dealer,but spared just in time by locals,who saw workers starting their job with cutting torches.and warned the local mayor.3 bulldozers were used to remove it from his dish,in a rainy afternoon of October 1975.

Looks like its still faithfully guarding the road after all these years.

Nice at 0:45. The tractor doing a wheelie while trying to pull the beast :)

Very interesting - for some reason they look a bit on the small side - I always thought of them as massive....

Super vidéo!!!

Restauration assez réussie d'un Tigre 1, il manque encore les pots d'échappements et les tubes de mitrailleuses MG-34 mais beau boulot.

Peiperlg, chapeau pour cette trouvaille!!!
