German Armored Forces & Vehicles
Freeing a Tiger I from frozen mud and snow, Russia. One of the apparently unforseen disadvantages of the complex "overlapping roadwheel" version of the Christie suspension systems used on the Panther, Tiger I and Tiger II was their tendency to get clogged with mud and snow which could freeze solid and temporarily immobilise the tank - as appears to have happened here. Best regards, JR.
