A German Panzer column comprising Tiger tanks of 506th Heavy Tank Battalion join the retreat of the German army in the western Ukraine on May 4, 1944.
 A good shot which highlights the often ‘slap dash’ camouflage that was applied and also the common practice of leaving tow cables attached to speed up the tank recovery process.Taken from fb/Nick Chill‎Tiger Tanks, Armoured Vehicles & Places of Combat from WWll till Today

Armored retreat

All the armour and firepower of the German Tiger tank was wasted if it couldn't get to the battlefield. It was too wide for the standard railway loading gauge (requiring special narrow tracks for rail transport, and the removal of the side skirts and outer road wheels) and it was too heavy for many bridges, with the unfortunate consequences seen here. This was worsened by the fact that it was also too heavy for the standard German heavy recovery vehicle, requiring three of them together to recover it.
