Captured Tiger Tank Shocked the U.S. Army – Only 120 Miles Per Tank | WW2 True Story

When American forces captured a Tiger I tank in Tunisia in 1943, they thought they’d seized Germany’s deadliest weapon.
But what they discovered inside changed everything.

At Aberdeen Proving Ground, U.S. engineers tested Tiger 712 and uncovered a fatal flaw — the tank could only travel 120 miles per full tank on roads, and as little as 30 miles in combat.
This stunning revelation exposed how Nazi Germany’s most feared tank was doomed by its own fuel consumption, not by Allied guns.

From Kasserine Pass to the Battle of the Bulge, this WWII documentary reveals how logistics and fuel shortages defeated the Tiger, despite its superior firepower and armor.
Featuring real historical accounts, declassified test results, and eyewitness testimony, this film uncovers the truth behind the myth of the Tiger tank.

🎖️ Featuring:
• Tiger 712 – Captured in Tunisia
• Colonel George B. Jarrett & Aberdeen Tests
• Kampfgruppe Peiper’s fuel crisis in Ardennes
• Henschel engineer Erwin Aders interrogation
• Sherman vs Tiger comparison

🎬 Perfect for fans of WWII documentaries, tank history, and military engineering stories.
