Summary
DescriptionTiger II from the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion (36343370110).png
German and Hungarian soldiers from the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion on a Tiger II tank in Budapest, Hungary, October, 1944. The 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion was the only tank unit to go to Budapest. This unit was equipped with Tiger I tanks and Panzer IIIs. In 1944, it was re-equipped with the new Tiger II, like depicted in this photo. The battalion participated in both Eastern and Western Fronts during World War II. Eventually, the battalion became part of the newly formed Panzer Corps Feldherrnhalle as the Feldherrnhalle Heavy Tank Battalion. The battalion saw action in Normandy during the Operation Overlord, as well as in Kursk and Kharkov. I’ve done some research and found that its commanders survived the war and recently died in 2003, 2005 and 2011.
