Sources say that this is the famed second Tiger I the Hoebig
collection was restoring? that would make it the
infamous FrankenTigers little brother.
The Frankentiger that was displayed at Munster since April 2013,
belonged to the Hoebig Collection.
Herr Hoebig, who reconstructed this tank, was once the owner of the
Trun scrapyard in Normandy.
Knowing that several Tiger I’s were cut up in that scrapyard,
he probably took all the Tiger I bits and pieces and
started welding them back together again.
Some other parts like the barrel and
wheels came from Latvia (Kurland area) and the hull and front wheels came
from Nahabino military training grounds.
This second Tiger from the Hoebig Collection also came from
the Nahabino military training grounds.
The Frankentiger was sold to fund a second Tiger project, a project that
was supposed to make a second Tiger I in compleet running condition,
not because of some German government conspiracy
