Historical Context

The Tiger 1 was one of the most feared tanks of the Second World War, boasting powerful armour and a devastating 88mm gun. It symbolised German engineering supremacy on the battlefield. In contrast, the Sherman Firefly was a British adaptation of the American Sherman tank, equipped with the lethal 17-pounder gun to counter the Tiger’s dominance. These tanks frequently faced off during the Normandy campaign following the D-Day landings in June 1944.
