role is to race into battle against
enemy tank formations and des-
troy them by means of its far

power. In its baptism of fire in
France, it proved superior to even
the latest Tigers.
With a crew of five, its ami-
aircraft machine gun, and a full
load of ammunition, it weighs ap-
proximately 19 tons. Yet it can
travel 55 miles an hour. The fas-
test any Tiger has ever done in
1 speed tests in this country is 15
mil 's an hour, although t ho Ger-
mans claim for it a top speed of
3S miles.
