The Pz.Kpfw. VI ""Tiger"" with the side number 114, which is located in the Musée des Blindés in Saumur, France, is one of the most important exhibits of this museum. Tiger tanks were some of the most famous and dangerous armored machines used by Germany during World War II. They became famous for their powerful armament, especially the 88mm gun and their thick armored shielding. This particular specimen, marked with the number 114, is one of the few preserved in the world, which makes it extremely valuable both historically and technologically. This tank took part in the fighting and was captured by the Allies. After repairs, it began service in the French army under the name "Bretagne". It is currently undergoing renovation and will soon return to the exhibition and will be used during dynamic field shows!
