May be even a few Tiger II's?????!!!! AFAIK, not EVERY Tiger II was accounted for.....

I would think that would be a real kick in the a$$.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Tigers and Panthers were mechanical nightmares that required hours of PMS every week and wouldn't be working unless someone was taking care of them full-time.

AFAIK, the last known use of the Tiger II in combat was in the 1968 6-Day War, where their mechanically poor condition led the Syrians to simply park them in ditches and revetments to help defend the border. Most were bombed into oblivion.
