German propaganda made much of the presence of Tigers in Tunisia,
even to the extent of posing a tank and its crew with the inevitable camel.
Two Tigers were knocked out by 6 pounder anti-tank guns of 72nd Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery, in Tunisia on 20 January 1943. This is the leading tank, a rear, left three-quarter view showing four distinct penetrations.
