Hunting Tigers in Africa

It’s the 24th of April 1943 on the sun-swept steppes of Tunisia.
Explosions rock the earth as the men of the 2nd Battalion Sherwood Foresters take cover in their meager trenches.
The Germans have them under fire and just 300 yards away a Panzer squadron in a hull down position fires upon the allied positions.
At the head of the panzer squadron is a fearsome beast. Even its name is whispered by the Allies. It’s a Tiger. Armed with a powerful 88mm gun and incredible armor they are the flagship of the German War Machine.
How is it possible to destroy or even capture such an epic machine? They inflict dread in even the best of tankers, let alone a battalion of infantry with just PIATs at their disposal. In a rush a few men run for an abandoned enemy position. There they find an abandoned Pak 97/38. They heave the gun around to face the oncoming threat and scavenge as much ammunition as they can.
Inside the Tiger the crew are under strict instructions not to let their tank fall into enemy hands. Even going so far to equip Tigers with charges to blow up the tank in the event of capture. So for the allies even taking one out is a colossal undertaking. Let alone capturing a tiger with its fangs and claws intact.
We take you through the events of that day and how exactly the allies managed to get their hands on the peak of Germany’s tank technology at the time.
