Go and subscribe to @rctanks Frankentiger little brother? 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 like Felton made up in his famous video. This Tiger I was placed on display at the last moment at the Militracks event in Overloon. The vehicle wasn't display ready and the gun was apparently loaned out from Kevin Wheatcroft, the tracks are also on loan and were entirely made from 3D printed parts. The Hoebig collection wants to make the Tiger a running example and will use a modern engine to make this possible. The display was made possible by three other collectors some wanting to be unknown and names will be kept private. ■ So want to help keep me and the channel going? supporting me on Patreon will get you access to extra content for three channels in total. ■ Support me on my Patreon ■ Store: ■ Information obtained from several sites. ■ Wikipedia ■ tanks-encyclopedia ■ ■ preservedtanks ■ ■ ■ Some music is from the YouTube Audio Library. ■ Music used: Copyright fair use notice All media used in this video is used for the purpose of education under the terms of fair use.
